Executive Chef, Cory Untch

Today, we’re taking you behind the scenes to meet our Executive Chef, Cory Untch, to learn how food plays a role in making our guests’ visits an experience they’ll never forget.  

Innovative Approach

With an impressive background in many 5-star hotels across the country, Cory was well-suited to lead the culinary team at C Lazy U. As a strong believer in farm-to-table offerings, using local purveyors, and developing health-minded menus, Cory perfectly matches the ranch’s culinary approach. His ability to put unique twists on some recognized staples means he can delight even the pickiest of eaters while creating a fabulous service experience.  

Exploring C Lazy U Through Food 

One of the reasons guests love C Lazy U is that they get to celebrate the Great American West with all the luxury and comfort of modernity. To create a unified and cohesive experience, Cory strives to explore C Lazy U through the menus he creates. By developing relationships with local farmers and vendors, Cory is able to tell the story of Colorado and the West using the food he cooks, and alters the menu to accommodate our changing seasons. As a result, guests can experience the best of Colorado cuisine, year-round.  

More Than A Meal 

Since our food is served family-style, mealtimes give our guests the opportunity to create lasting friendships with other guests. Cory’s creations perfectly compliment this goal, and he encourages his team to view food not just as a meal, but an interaction. By preparing unique dishes that set the stage for connection and conversation, Cory’s team encourages guests to engage each of their senses and create unforgettable memories around the table.

From the Horse's Mouth

Julie's first Horsemanship Immersion clinic was excellent. The structure of the days and content of materials was on-point. For me personally, I got to work with horses I did not know and use my horsemanship skills to help the horses work through various exercises that they don't normally do. That was my goal for the clinic. The workshops were perfect topics, and the vet workshops were great information. There is so much to talk about and the team remained flexible to everyone's interest but kept on schedule. Julie's team is always able to work with everyone and help us grow our horsemanship skills with quick evaluation of our skills and encouraging reminders. That is what it is all about!
