Stephan
Pyles has the kind of success story that everyone enjoys
hearing about. An internationally acclaimed chef at the
top of his game, Stephan Pyles sold his interest in Star
Canyon and AquaKnox to Carlson Restaurants WorldWide in
1998, and within two years opened Star Canyons in Las
Vegas at the Venetian Hotel and Resort for the new owners.
This transaction afforded Stephan the lifestyle that comes
with such success. Traveling the world as a writer, consultant
and teacher since 2000, his own life has become an artistically
crafted blue print of dreams to live by and fulfilled
fantasies of creative endeavors. His beautiful, custom-built
home in Dallas boasts a state-of-the-art kitchen, serving
as the backdrop for this photo shoot.
Often
referred to as one of the founding fathers of Southwestern
Cuisine, Food and Beverage International sought Stephan
out for his personal touch and renowned command of flavors
on the cuisine that has had such an impact on America’s
taste buds.
