Josh Bettis Is Your New Brown Hotel Executive Chef

"I came out here because I know the agriculture is fantastic here, I know that Louisville is very much an up and coming food city…it's becoming more progressive every year. I want to be a part of it, I want to contribute to it and I want to grow with it." Those are a few of the reasons Josh Bettis gives for agreeing to take the Executive Chef position at The Brown Hotel, overseeing The English Grill, J. Graham's Café and other operations. Bettis, who comes to the Brown Hotel from the Montelucia Resort and Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona, has spent the past 18 years helming hotels and resorts from Ireland to Arizona. Regarding the recent weather, Bettis says he hasn't "been around this kind of cold and snow for 18 years." In town for a little over two weeks, Bettis has limited his Louisville dining to dinners at home with his wife, cat and turtle, though he says "I look forward to going out…local chefs have said they're looking forward to meeting me."
