Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, the 2,400-acre resort destination on Florida’s Emerald Coast, has appointed Frank Radosti as corporate executive chef. In this role, Radosti will lead the resort’s culinary team while overseeing menu development, restaurant operations, banquet and catering services, and food and beverage programming. His oversight will span dining and event operations throughout the resort, including waterfront favorites The Beach House and Marina Bar & Grill, as well as culinary operations across the resort’s four championship golf courses, 226-slip marina and more than 85,000 square feet of meeting and event space.
“Food is one of the defining parts of the Sandestin experience, whether guests are enjoying a weekend getaway, celebrating a wedding, attending a conference or simply making memories on the Emerald Coast,” said Todd Felsen, vice president and managing director of Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. “Frank has built his career leading complex culinary operations with a collaborative, team-first approach. His experience, creativity and operational expertise make him an outstanding addition to Sandestin, and we’re excited for what’s ahead.”
A U.S. Marine Corps veteran, Radosti brings extensive culinary leadership experience spanning resort restaurants, convention centers, large-scale catering and special events. He joins Sandestin following his tenure as corporate executive chef for Kahler Hospitality Group, where he led culinary strategy across multiple properties. His background also includes leadership roles with Davidson Hotels & Resorts, Sodexo, Interstate Hotels & Resorts and Vinayaka Hospitality, as well as executive culinary experience supporting NASCAR VIP hospitality and celebrity events nationwide.
“Sandestin has earned a reputation as one of Florida’s premier resort destinations because every part of the guest experience matters,” said Radosti. “I’ve always believed that if you love food, it will love you back. I’m excited to bring that philosophy to Sandestin and bring a fresh culinary perspective that celebrates the flavors and characters of the Gulf Coast.”
