Executive Chef, Patrick Hoogerhyde
Glacier Brewhouse
Anchorage, Alaska

Raised in King Salmon, Alaska on subsistence salmon and wild game. I came to understand the importance of properly cooking and preparing food. The freshness and quality of that time in my life is etched into my passion for cooking. Upon graduating from Western Culinary Institute in Portland, Oregon I returned to define my future with food.

As a Sous Chef for The Marx Bros. Cafe I focused on the style and quality of food that brought me to return to Alaska. Continuing on to the Crow's Nest" as Chef de Cuisine I kindled my passion for culinary exploration and excelled in hand crafted quality, ultimately obtaining the AAA Four Diamond award. In the continuous pursuit of my professional goals I become the Executive Chef at the Anchorage Marriott Downtown, where I headed the opening culinary team.

Why Alaska?

"Being raised in Alaska on subsistence seafood and game I came to understand the relationship between people and their environment- land and sea. The seafood of Alaska is managed to obtain and maintain that balance to continue productivity for future generations. Furthermore, you add on great species diversity, beautiful flavor profiles, as well as cutting edge harvesting and processing technologies and you have a win - win balance. "

~ Chef Patrick Hoogerhyde
