Scott Schmitz, Executive Chef

Since finding a calling for cooking at the age of 14, Scott Schmitz has amassed more than 24 years of experience in leading culinary operations for fine dining, banquet and catering services. As Executive Chef at The Palm in Northbrook, Scott has brought a passion for fine steaks and upscale Italian cuisine.

According to Scott, his culinary philosophy is to prepare and serve food with the passion and honesty one would have when cooking for their family, using only the freshest ingredients and highest quality products. His signature dish is the Veal Martini served at The Palm.

Before joining The Palm, Scott served as Executive Chef at Magnums Steak House in Chicago and as Executive Chef at Braxton's Seafood Grill in Oakbrook. He also was the Executive Chef and part owner of Chanteralles in Bartlett and spent more that 12 years with the Hyatt Hotels & Resorts in a variety of culinary positions.

After attending the College of Culinary Arts at Johnson and Wales, Scott began his professional career under the notable tutelage of Rick Tramonto of Tru, Trio and Brasserie T fame.

In addition to his time spent in the kitchen of The Palm, Schmitz has for the past seven years been a part of The Taste of the NFL, a charity organization that raises money and awareness to fight hunger. The Taste of the NFL teams up stars of the NFL with top chefs throughout the country to raise money and provide food for the hungry. To date, the organization has raised more than $5 million since its inception in 1992.
