Growing up in Lenox, Massachusetts, Chef John Brazie became fascinated with the art of cooking after spending hours in the kitchen with his father. After working in several New England inns, John enrolled in the CIA – the prestigious, Culinary Institute of America. Upon graduation, he apprenticed under Chef Gerhard Schmidt … then spent time in San Diego and Aspen before traveling south to Texas.

When not directing the culinary operations at The Woodlands Resort, Chef Brazie enjoys entertaining family and friends in his backyard. He likes to rev up several blenders at once to concoct frozen drinks during the summer… especially his unique smoothies which feature unexpected ingredients like jalapenos, fish sauce, cucumbers and radishes to create a savory finish. A tip from Chef Brazie: use the outdoor grill instead of the oven to prepare crispy pizzas topped with amazing cheeses, meats, fruits and vegetables. The possibilities are endless!
