Chefs & Restaurateurs EATS & ENTERTAINMENT
TIMOTHY E. WOOD Executive Chef
THE CLUB AT UK'S SPINDLETOP HALL How would you describe Spindletop? We are a University of Kentucky Faculty, Staff and Alumni Club catering to the needs of our membership and their families. Be it fine dining, casual comfort food, themed parties or catered events and weddings. We do anything and all for our members. What is your favorite local ingredient to cook with? I really enjoy the Chef's garden plot on property that allows us to grow our own herbs, tomatoes and peppers that make every dish personal. What sets you apart from other chefs? I love being a club Chef. The personal relationships I build with my clientele allow me to be personal with the food in a way I was never able to in another kitchen. What is your favorite dish? Our winter menu features "The Whitmer" in honor of one of our most dedicated families: spicy marinated Beef Tenderloin topped with Bourbon flashed caramel apples, butter braised baby carrots and roasted potatoes. What do you love most about the local restaurant industry? The chance to do something new everyday has been an amazing experience. Getting to do that with some of the most talented and creative people in the state has been an inspiration. I truly love what I do, where I do it and who I do it for. My membership has supported me and I love the chance to thank them with every dish.
