Meet The Team
Executive Chef Daniel Peters
Born and raised in Destin, Beach Walk Café’s executive chef, Daniel Peters, brings a unique perspective to the kitchen, bringing together locally-inspired ingredients and flavors together with his expert culinary skills. He first entered a professional kitchen at the age of 26, gaining his first taste of fine food and wine knowledge at Chan’s Wine World’s original location. But, in 2011, after a trip to the area, Peters decided to move to Napa Valley to further his curiosity of culinary culture and lifestyle. It was here Peters studied under a number of world-renown and award-winning chefs, including Douglas Keane, Sang Yoon, Jake Rand and Stephan Barber. All of which he attributes the entirety of his cuisine knowledge. He returned home with a goal of using what he learned to assist in the elevation of Destin’s food culture. Now, he’s working to bring about a Gulf-to-table concept at Beach Walk, crafting scrumptious fresh catch features daily, and share his incredible creations with the community that raised him.
