DUNEDIN, Fla. (June 17, 2024) – The historic Fenway Hotel in Dunedin, Florida, is thrilled to announce the appointment of Peter Chea as the new Chef de Cuisine at its signature restaurant, HEW Parlor & Chophouse. In his new role, Chea will play a pivotal role in menu development, food presentation, and kitchen operations, supported by Executive Chef Clayton Parrett. With an impressive culinary background and a passion for innovative, high-quality cuisine, Chea promises an exciting evolution for the restaurant’s already renowned dining experience.

“We’re excited to welcome Peter to our outstanding culinary team,” said Adam Duffey, General Manager for Fenway Hotel. “His fresh perspective and creativity will be a great benefit to Chef Clayton as they work together to further enhance the dining experience at HEW Parlor & Chophouse.”

Chea brings more than a decade of culinary experience to Fenway Hotel, including roles as Executive Chef at The Chateau Restaurant Group and Chef de Cuisine at Simply Gourmet Caterers. A graduate of The International Culinary School at the Art Institutes, Chea’s expertise spans a wide range of culinary genres, with a special emphasis on creating memorable, innovative dishes. His many career highlights include working alongside James Beard-winning chefs and winning first place in his culinary class portfolio. A strong believer in giving back, Chea helped run a community food shelf at Augsburg College and spent eight years working at Fairview Hospital in their psychiatric unit, both in Minneapolis.

“I am forever grateful to have had the opportunity to work with some of the most talented and inspiring individuals so early in my career back in Minnesota,” said Chea. “Those experiences helped shape and refine my own culinary style and philosophy, which I’m now very excited to bring to HEW Parlor & Chophouse at Fenway Hotel.”
