Chef Rodney Dabon started his career in 1988. A New

Orleans native, he worked at some of the top hotels and restaurants

including the Sheraton Hotel New Orleans, La Papillon New Orleans

(2 years), Bourbon Orleans (2 years), Hotel Intercontinental New

Orleans (4 years), and Hilton Riverside New Orleans (18 years). Chef

eventually moved to Dallas and started at the Great Wolf Lodge where

he worked his way up in 5 years to become the Executive Chef.

Chef Dabon is now our Executive Chef at the Historic Hilton

and Ashton Hotel Fort Worth. He sees himself as a mentor, always

trying to find ways of motivating the people around him to push

themselves harder to achieve self-satisfaction in knowing they did their

best today and every day that they are at work. He loves to share his

culinary talents with each of his team members in the hope that they

will someday become the Executive Chef of their dreams.

In his spare time, Chef enjoys the outdoors, fishing, hiking and

boating. He is a super New Orleans Saints Fan! Watching football

with family and friends gives him a chance to share his culinary skill

with his loved ones. He also tries to spend as much time as possible at

Church volunteering but there is always more that he want to do.

“I often sit around with my culinary team and brain storm on

new menus that will be a fresh look for our guest. I have a special love

for Cajun food being that I was born and raised In New Orleans better

known as the Big Easy.” Come visit Chef at our hotel and taste his

culinary creations for yourself.
