Meet the Chef
David Schmidt, Executive Chef at Hundred Rox, is credited with the creation of the restaurant’s new brand and delectable menu. After serving as the Executive Chef next door at L’Auberge Restaurant on Oak Creek, Chef Schmidt embraced an opportunity to re-launch the award-winning Gallery on Oak Creek into a hip, trendy new place enjoyed by both visitors and locals alike.
Raised in Wisconsin, David was inspired to explore his culinary talents by his beloved grandmother who cooked three squares a day for 16 children. (His first kitchen exploit was baking peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies.) He relocated to Arizona in the mid-1990s where he's been honing his craft for the past decade, creating his own unique flair for fine cuisine.
Chef Schmidt has held positions at the Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak Resort and T. Cook's at the Royal Palms in Phoenix, as well as served as Executive Chef at the Mobil Four Star, AAA Four-Diamond rated Michael's at the Citadel in Scottsdale. He also was an instructor for his alma mater, the Scottsdale Culinary Institute, now Le Cordon Bleu, from which he earned a degree in 1996.
