Press Release: Marriott International
December 12, 2002
ORLANDO, Fl -- The recently renovated Orlando World Center Marriott Resort and Convention Center’s Executive Banquet
Chef, Douglas J. Davis recently received accolades from Kahlua. Chef Davis was the winner of the special challenge
issued by Kahlua, in which chefs from across the country were asked to develop unique recipes using Kahlua. The
award-winning recipe, Kahlua Braised Short Ribs with Cornbread Terrine, was chosen based on its complex flavor.
A fourteen-year veteran with Marriott International in five states, Douglas J. Davis is the Executive Banquet
Chef for the largest Marriott in the world. “Our property has everything to offer an aspiring executive chef with
ten restaurants and lounges and one of the largest banquet service operations in the area – it’s a remarkable venue
for a chef to showcase his talents and creativity,” stated Davis.
Promoting the world within a world theme, three diverse fine-dining restaurants feature cuisines from different
parts of the world including; RISTORANTE TUSCANY, offering authentic Tuscan cuisine from the central region of
Italy; Mikado’s Japanese Steakhouse, perhaps the best dinner theater in Orlando providing an artful display of
culinary expertise table-side; and Hawk’s Landing Steakhouse and Grill featuring all-American cuisine including
USDA prime aged beef and fresh seafood. In addition, RISTORANTE TUSCANY offers a monthly “Scuola di cucina” (kitchen
school) for those interested in learning to prepare a variety of secret Tuscan specialty dishes, designed to insure
the culinary experience of a lifetime.
