In 2017, Chef Steve Painter joined Kirk Liddell as Managing Partner and Executive Chef of The Log Cabin Restaurant. He had previously served as Sous Chef/Saucier of The Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, Executive Chef of the Lancaster Country Club in Lancaster, PA, and the Executive Chef/ Clubhouse Manager of the Bent Creek Country Club in Lititz, PA.

Steve has had the privilege of cooking with many world-famous chefs including Julia Childs, Hartmut Handke, Jean Louise Paladin, Roberto Donna, and Rick Bayless. He assisted with the classes held at The Greenbrier by the world-famous Ecole de Cuisine La Verenne in Paris from 1991 to 2008. He is a strong proponent of using locally sourced ingredients at their freshest, both from nearby farmers, fruit growers, and orchardists, and from his own hand-tended garden located immediately behind the main Log Cabin Restaurant building. He also takes special pride in his USDA Prime steaks and his fresh seafood dishes, which he varies seasonally to capture each ingredient at its absolute best.
