On Saturday, March 4th, Chef to Chef Conference attendees have a rare opportunity to get an up-close, exclusive look at the food-and-beverage operation inside the legendary Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, Fla.
“Ocean Reef Club’s culinary team is eager to share with attendees a comprehensive look at the variety we do here for our members,” says Philippe Reynaud, Director of Culinary and three-time Chef to Chef Conference presenter (2009, 2013 and 2017). “The size and scope of our operation is unique in the club market, but at the end of the day, we are still a private club serving a membership. During this tour, we will offer our Chef to Chef guests an exceptional experience to educate and inspire them.”
Upon arrival, attendees will meet with the club’s vice presidents, chefs and executive leadership team who will offer an insightful look at the club’s daily operations.
From there, attendees will break into smaller groups for a behind-the-scenes tour of Ocean Reef’s kitchens and restaurants. Each group will be guided by one of Ocean Reef’s culinary professionals.
“The groups will be intimate so that chefs can engage directly with our knowledgeable, diverse and highly respected professionals,” says Reynaud, who has been with the club since 2000.

Attendees will spend nearly 30 minutes inside each of Ocean Reef’s culinary outlets, including the steakhouse, raw bar, sushi bar, commissary, lounges, grills and more.
“Chef attendees might not be able to replicate all of what we do here, but they will be inspired to take some of these ideas and concepts back to their clubs to improve the culinary experience while offering their members something new and different,” says Reynaud.
The Ocean Reef Club Tour, which costs an additional $500, will conclude with a Keys Style Beach BBQ Dinner attendees won’t soon forget, featuring some of the Reef’s most popular food stations.
“Our Chefs excel at creating custom, intimate dinners, and elegant receptions—as attendees will see Saturday evening,” says Reynaud.
This unique, limited-attendance club tour is only available to the first 35 attendees who register as part of their full conference registration. The tour includes round-trip luxury bussing from Miami to Ocean Reef as well as dinner.
