Big Resort Chef Comes to Mai Dive

Last week a new chef came to work at the Resort and since then we have been eating so well it might be illegal. Perfectly cooked fish, chicken, steak, and veggies from the garden all presented like a real live chef would do it! Sure it’s no Bobby Flay, but he’s cooler than the nerd…Continue readingBig Resort Chef Comes to Mai Dive
