Although the chefs are busy getting menus and recipes dialed in for the season, we tracked a few of them down in the kitchen for recommendations and favorite picks to share with you. It’s not the same as a summer vacation at the ranch, but maybe you can borrow one of their recommendations and pretend you’re here!
