Alumni Spotlight: Daniel Johnson
Daniel Johnson has been an intern at Brush Creek Ranch since May of 2020. Brush Creek is an all inclusive luxury resort in Saratoga, Wyoming and is the number 1 luxury resort in the world. His position is in food & beverage, which includes baking and pastry. There are only 3 chefs in the pastry field who cook for the entire ranch.
Johnson's job consists of making breads such as sourdough, dinner rolls, focaccia, and many more. He also creates desserts that include ganaché cakes, tarts, and he's begun to practice with soufflé. Soufflé is a delicate dessert and is meant to be served hot.
His Chef, Keisha Sanderson, has taught him a lot over the past 6 months of working here. A key lesson has been learning cooking methods for high elevation (7,432 ft) . Johnson plans to return further in his career once he earns a business degree.
"LCI has taught me potential and the pros and cons of the culinary industry. If you’re a hard worker and have a passion to cook and you’re wondering what’s next after getting your savory or pastry degree, Brush Creek should be an option!"
