Gerald Thompson<br />
Rough Creek Lodge<br />
Gerald Thompson’s talents and culinary<br />
interpretations of rustic American and<br />
wild game cuisine have garnered national<br />
attention, and his philosophy is simple...<br />
“Make the meal memorable.”<br />
Imaginative menus featuring the absolute best ingredients are<br />
created daily. Tomatoes grown specifically for Rough Creek, locally<br />
grown organic micro-greens and specialty pro<strong>du</strong>cts like fresh grits<br />
from a small Alabama mill all reflect Thompson’s detail-driven style.<br />
He’s received superlative reviews nationally by the Zagat Survey,<br />
Bon Appétit, Gourmet, and Food & Wine, and recently was awarded<br />
a perfect score from the North American Restaurant Association.<br />
From his open kitchen, he challenges his guests (who he refers to<br />
as “adventurous and open-minded”) <strong>with</strong> innovative rustic American<br />
cuisine and the result is one of the best restaurants in the country.<br />
CRITIC’S PRAISE<br />
“Our much-anticipated dinner was the unquestioned highlight<br />
of our stay”<br />
“Thompson turns out some of the most consistently excellent<br />
cuisine I’ve tasted”<br />
“The restaurant alone is worth a stay.”<br />
ON THE ROAD<br />
Chef Thompson is requested for guest appearances all over the<br />
country. Upcoming appearances include Côtes <strong>du</strong> <strong>Coeur</strong>, the<br />
Granbury Wine Walk and the Texas Food and Wine Festival.<br />
Heart disease remains the nation’s leading<br />
cause of death in the U.S.,<br />
a ranking it has held since 1921.<br />
