breakfast,
lunch and
dinner included in the price. In fact, the commitment to superior dining at Curtain Bluff is so serious that Howard Hulford created his own import company in order to ensure consistent availability of fresh ingredients from around the world. French-born Christophe Blatz has been overseeing the
kitchen at Curtain Bluff as Executive Chef for the past seven seasons, and was Sous Chef for the previous seven years. Christophe Blatz trained under such notable chefs as Alain Ducasse and cooked in some of the finest Michelin star-rated
kitchens in France including Les Ambassadeurs
restaurant in the Hotel du Crillon Paris. His background fuses French continental with Caribbean flavors and ingredients. Working alongside chef Christophe Blatz is Mark Andrew Smith, master of the art of pastry making. Chef Smith's extensive resume includes over five years as pastry chef for PO Cruises and four years as pastry chef at Carlisle Bay Resort in Antigua. Smith, joined by Executive Sous Chef, Burdette Martin, contribute an amazing flavor to Curtain Bluff. Cooking Classes with the Chef - Chef Christophe Blatz teaches guests his personal style of fusing French flavors with Caribbean
cuisine. Guests learn to cook
lunch in the Bluff House, the private home of the Hulfords. Classes are $60 and include
lunch and a specially selected bottle of wine from Curtain Bluff's cellar.
