Alex Young was hired as executive chef of the resort’s threerestaurant concepts — the San Marino Lounge, the Tin Cup Bar, and the recently-added Emilio’s Steakhouse, which opened last summer.In fact, he’s already given the San Marino Lounge menu a makeover —introducing authentic Italian dishes such as like Chicken Boscaiola, Nidi diRondine, and Insalata di Farro. In addition to a new chef, the resort will behome to a brand-new wedding chapel and outdoor pavilion with over 500 seats, set to be completed this June. Other additions in the works includebike rentals, a full-service spa, and pickleball courts. Young was brought in by Lakeview Hills general manager Fadi Achour, who has won multiple Awards of Excellence from Wine Spectator. It’s not the first time the two have worked together — they met at a job in the mid-90s and have remained in touch ever since.“[I]t was a no brainer to bring him on to assist me in making Lakeview aculinary destination for the region,” said Achour in a press release.Young was chef and managing partner at Zingerman’s Roadhouse in AnnArbor from its opening in 2003. While there, he earned a James Beard Award for Best Chef: Great Lakes in 2011 before departing to open The StandardBistro and Larder in 2017. Most recently, he headed the kitchen at AnnArbor’s Vinology.“Winning the James Beard Award was of course a very special moment in my career and is something every chef dreams about, but [I’m] still in the kitchen every day doing what I enjoy and love, and that is to cook and try to create the perfect balance of flavor, health and inspiring food,” said Young in a press release.Along with the restaurants and other amenities, Lakeview Hills Country Club features a 36-hole golf course, a hotel, and a ballroom. The historic club was purchased in 1976 by the late Emilio Fabbri and is now owned by his son,Tom. Emilio founded AARO Window cleaning and was a longtime boardmember at Huntington Banks of Michigan.
