About Chef Becky
Hi! My name is Becky Croft and I am the new manager at
Briar Patch Bed & Breakfast. I’ve been here since January 15th and I
absolutely love it! Having a passion for cooking since I was little, I
started my culinary journey at Johnson & Wales University in Norfolk,
VA. I earned my A.S. in Culinary Arts and went on to work at Nemacolin
Woodlands Resort and Spa, a five star resort in Farmington, PA. While
working there, I learned to cook Asian food in a gorgeous open kitchen
as well as roll sushi at an upscale sushi bar. I also got to assist with
the 84 Lumber Classic PGA Golf Tournament. That was quite an experience,
with all our kitchens in tents and huge tractor-trailer freezers and
coolers.
After finishing at Nemacolin, I began working at The Lucky Star
Restaurant under Chef Scott Bernheisal in Virginia Beach, VA. The Lucky
Star is a fine dining restaurant that specializes in seafood. I was able
to create specials and work with some very cool ingredients.
I then decided to go back to school and get my bachelor’s degree.
Virginia Tech has a terrific hospitality program; I enrolled and have
since become a very loyal Hokie! While studying for my B.S in
Hospitality and Tourism Management, I cooked at the President of the
University’s mansion with Chef Michael Arrington. We served receptions,
luncheons, and dinners to alumni, ambassadors, and other distinguished
guests with sophisticated, yet traditional southern cuisine.
So, newly graduated and ready to take on a challenge, I came to work at
Briar Patch. I am very excited about cooking with you. It is going to be
a great time with some great food!
