Jerry Schreck, HGT, AAC, HoF, caught up with Club + Resort Chef at the 2026 Chef to Chef Conference at The Broadmoor to talk about his role as Executive Chef of Kennett Square Golf and Country Club in Kennett Square, Pa.—just a few miles from where his career began 30 years ago.
Schreck also shares his experience as a founder of the Chef to Chef Conference, which has grown from 56 attendees in Las Vegas in 2009 to more than 400 in 2026, where he was inducted into the inaugural Club + Resort Chef Hall of Fame (HoF) class.
“Successful chefs and successful clubs around the country should realize that it only happens by hard work and commitment and loving what you do every day,” Schreck says. And, he adds, “one of the most important things is having good people around you.”
