Thank you from Viles/Service/Carson family Courtesy photo Jack Strong Strong receives top culinary award for all of the Americas Jack Strong was recently honored with another culinary award, this time as executive chef at the Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel in Phoenix, Ariz. The email he received from Dana Pel- licano, vice president of food and beverage experience, The Americas for Mariott International, explained the following: “Congratulations! It is our sincere pleasure to inform you that you have been selected as Ameri- cas 2018 Award of Culinary Excellence Executive Chef of the Year Winner for the Classic Distinctive Segment. Near the beginning of summer, the Viles/Service/Carson family held a memorial service in Siletz for our mother, grandmother, aunt, sister and cousin. It was only with the help of Siletz Tribal staff and volunteers that we were able to accomplish this work. Thank you, one and all, for the work you did on our behalf before, during and after the memorial service for Mom on June 8, 2019. We especially appreciate Raina Johnston’s work. She came early and stayed late in order to help our family in our time of need. Editor’s note: The obituary for Ronald Bruce Butler Sr. in the July issue of Siletz News contained several errors. Butler served in the military in Japan, not in Vietnam as previously stated. He did not work in the timber industry. Ron Butler Jr.’s mother is Daryllynne Carey, not Sharon Butler as previously stated. Since 1998, the Award of Culinary Excellence has been given to many outstanding chefs who tirelessly exhibit unparalleled passion for great food and true culinary leadership. Your results are a showcase for your unique culinary expertise and leadership. The trait of a great culinarian is a complicated yet perfect blend of culinary technique, intuitive creativity, guest focus and business acumen. You inspire others, embody Marriott’s Spirit to Serve and lead others along the path of culinary innovation. We know you commit each day to delivering outstanding culinary experiences to our valued guests. In the next phase of the awards process, all Continent finalists will be presented to Global Operations where a selection committee will determine the Global winners. Global winners will be announced in the July 8 th Weekly Update. We wish you the best of luck in the next phase of this award. Your culinary contributions are truly spectacular!” “I have been blessed with this honor and to receive recognition in such a large company full of talented executive chefs,” said Strong. “Alas, I did not win the Global award and a chef from Dubai took home that honor, but to represent the Americas and win for our continent is humbling.” 8 • Siletz News • Graduates!
