Kenwood Country Club will welcome a record number of people this week.

From the world’s best LPGA players, their teams, local and national media, club members, volunteers, to all those spectators.

That’s a lot of hungry people.

But Kenwood Country Club’s Chief Executive Chef Sean Sennet and his team are up to the task.

We toured one of two kitchens at the club earlier this week and chatted with the crew while they were prepping and planning for the week.

On Tuesday morning, the team had already prepared breakfast and lunch for nearly 200 people, including local media, sponsors, perhaps most importantly, and the players.

“With the LPGA, it’s going to feel like there’s an extravaganza. There’s going to be something going on all the time,” Sennet said. “We have pizza ovens, we have smokers. So, you’re going to smell a BBQ, there will be hickory in the air.”

Of course, food and beverage service will be available to spectators on the course, too, but special events throughout the week will feature chef’s menu.

In addition to all of the work for players and spectators, Sennet and his team are developing a special menu for the skybox suites while continuing to serve club member meals throughout the week.

“We just want to showcase what we have here, we love providing a different flair,” he said. “I want to create that buzz.”
