CHEF DEAN C. SPRAGUE, C.C.C.

Chef Sprague began his culinary journey 33 years ago in a Fort Worth steakhouse as a dishwasher, and has never looked back. After quickly moving to the hot line, he found his passion in the creative chaos of the kitchen. While attending culinary school, Chef Sprague did his apprenticeship at the Marriott Solana Hotel in Southlake, Texas, as well as his pastry apprenticeship at the Four Seasons Resort and Spa in Las Colinas.

Chef Sprague was voted the 1996 Best Young Chef of the Year by the Dallas chapter of the Texas Chefs Association, and was the team captain for the 1995 Dallas Culinary Team. He has received several awards in national hot and cold food competitions, including three gold and six silver medals.

Additional experience includes continuing education classes at both the Hyde Park and Napa Valley campuses of the Culinary Institute of America. Chef Sprague advanced his culinary career as a Chef in many of the finest ski resorts in Colorado, including Vail Mountain and Telluride.

Chef Sprague has been with Omni Hotels & Resorts since 2009, and is currently the Executive Chef of the Omni Corpus Christi Hotel.
