FROM OUR chef
Welcome to the Hilton Appleton Paper Valley Hotel! It’s an honor to be part of your event, and I sincerely thank you for choosing us.
My passion for food started in my Wisconsin childhood, surrounded by family, fresh ingredients, and the joy of cooking together. After graduating culinary school, I honed my skills under chefs like John Doherty at The Waldorf Astoria and Emeril Lagasse in New Orleans, developing a love for bold flavors and grilled meats.
My food philosophy is rooted in simplicity, sustainability, and storytelling. Whether it’s an elegant dinner or a lively reception, we focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients and dishes that spark connection.
I don’t believe in having one signature dish, because every dish deserves care and creativity. But if I had to choose, I’d say Steak Diane is a favorite a classic that proves food can be both timeless and deeply personal.
As chefs, we’re in the business of creating experiences. From the first bite to the final detail, my team and I are dedicated to exceeding your expectations and helping you create memories that last long after the plates are cleared. Thanks again for trusting us. We can’t wait to cook for you!
Warm regards,
Chef Jason Pump
