Capa Steakhouse names new chef

Chris Edwards was appointed chef at new chef Capa Steakhouse, located in the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort.

Edwards joins Four Seasons after serving as executive chef at 1921 in Mount Dora. He also has served as executive chef in restaurants in cities such as Atlanta and Palm Beach. Edwards holds his degree in culinary arts from Johnson & Wales University.

He takes over the kitchen as the resort celebrates its 10th anniversary.

“I’m truly excited to helm the culinary team at Capa,” Edwards said. “While I joined at the perfect time, on the heels of a spotlight on the Netflix show, ‘Somebody Feed Phil,’ and already with one Michelin star, I look forward to growing the momentum and further enhancing the overall dining experience at Capa.”

In addition to Edwards’ appointment, Chris T. Wong, hailing from Connecticut, has been appointed as Capa general manager. Wong has worked at Four Seasons Resort Orlando since its opening in 2014, previously as assistant director of banquets and also as in-room dining manager and Ravello assistant manager.  

“We’re thrilled to welcome Chef Chris to lead the culinary vision at Capa, bringing his creativity and passion to further elevate the Michelin-starred experience our guests have come to expect,” Director of Food and Beverage Jennifer Rama said. “Also, with Chris Wong’s leadership at the helm of the front of house, I’m confident that the exceptional service and hospitality Capa is known for will continue to shine.”
