Kevin Korman, Executive Chef
Executive Chef Kevin Korman has spent the last nineteen years cultivating a love of food and perfection. He graduated from Baltimore International College in 2002 where he studied classic French technique.
He then began his career in a fine dining establishment under the watchful eye of Rudolph Speckhamp, one of the very few certified master chefs in the US. Looking to expand his palate, he transitioned to a position at the Ritz Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation in Eatonton, GA. It was in this capacity that he explored and created his own style of cooking. In the following years, he moved back to Maryland to accept a position as instructor at the Lincoln Culinary Institute, adding an additional dimension to his repertoire.
Rounding out his final years in Maryland, Korman served as the executive chef of Santoni’s Marketplace & Catering Company. With over seventy employees, he mastered yet another aspect of hospitality management. His unrelenting pursuit of knowledge and creativity led him to Caliza in Alys Beach, Florida to refine his style of modern American cuisine. Here he grew from chef de cuisine of Caliza Restaurant to executive chef of all Alys Beach outlets.
In 2015, Chef and his wife Angela opened Roselie Dining & Seafood Bar, a modern American seafood restaurant located in Inlet Beach Florida. He has been featured on local and national television broadcasting, along with featured articles in The Local Palate magazine, Men’s Fitness, Garden and Gun, and Southern Living. He has also been repeatedly invited to represent South Walton Beach restaurants at a variety of notable food festivals, including the Nashville Food & Wine Festival, where he presented alongside various Food Network celebrity chefs.
