Originally from Massachusetts, Chef Mike Whooley brings a passion for food presentation and proven experience in upscale dining from his previous roles at two five-star restaurants.

A national and state champion football player in high school, Mike channeled his competitive mindset into the culinary field. First, he worked his way from the role of line cook into a sous chef position at a Four Diamond Hotel and Resort. Then, in 2016, Chef Mike joined the Vineyards family.

Chef Mike has been an excellent addition to the Vineyards culinary team as executive sous chef. During his time at the club, he focused his efforts on taking member and event dining to the next level. He did such an exceptional job that, in 2018, Chef Mike married his beautiful wife, on location, at Vineyards Country Club. Today, Chef Mike looks forward to elevating the culinary experience further for Vineyards Country Club members.

Chef Christopher Olson’s inspiration to become a chef started at an early age. During childhood, Chef Chris learned his way around the kitchen by watching his grandmother and mother cook. Eventually, he started taking over cooking holiday dinners and for family gatherings. After Chef Chris realized his true passion in life was cooking, he began experimenting with trendy, cultural styles.

Chef Chris’s first position as sous chef took place in Lenox, Massachusetts at a luxurious seasonal resort. There, he worked alongside a team to create New England fare that used fresh, local flavors. After returning to his hometown of Naples, Florida, Chef Chris became a sous chef at Baleen. There, he learned how to create, prep and execute fast-paced fine dining dishes under high pressure. You could say that is where Chef Chris feels most in his element.

Today, Chef Chris serves as chef de cuisine at the pristine Vineyards Country Club. Since joining the team in late 2019, he has created multiple menus and even specialty ice creams! “I love having fun in the kitchen and creating a variety of dishes for the members at the Club,” he said. Chef Chris is always open to suggestions for improvement as well as any special requests. When not at work, Chef Chris enjoys cooking at home for family and friends.
