Culinary Director Mark Quitney
Mark Quitney is the Culinary Director at the Cobb Galleria Centre and Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre. Mark has come home to Atlanta where he truly started his career.
Mark has more than 35 years of culinary experience in a variety of settings across the U.S. and the Caribbean including hotels, resorts, country clubs, a university setting and a food bank. He spent 29 years as an executive chef for Marriott International and Starwood at numerous hotels across the country. Most recently, he was the executive chef at the Des Moines (Iowa) Golf & Country Club.
Mark’s focus on quality and creativity has elevated the culinary experience at both venues. His team includes executive, sous and pastry chefs that are all strong culinarians. Mark looks forward to working with clients on customized menus that are seasonal and fresh.
“I’m ready to produce some innovative takes on traditional dishes,” he said. “Just because we’re serving scrambled eggs doesn’t mean they can’t be cool scrambled eggs.”
Although Mark has lived in many places, he has a special affinity for New Orleans and its food. He’s looking forward to incorporating some “Nola traditions” in his menus.
He has won a variety of awards throughout his career, including Best Chef of Louisiana given by the American Culinary Federation. Quitney holds an Associate of Occupational Studies (AOS) degree in Culinary Arts from the Culinary Institute of America and also studied under renowned French Chef Madeleine Kamman.
