Poe comes to Seasons from the acclaimed Pinon Grill, at the Millennium Resort, Scottsdale, McCormick Ranch in Scottsdale, AZ.

Sure to please any palate, his delectable menu will feature entrees such as Coriander Dusted Atlantic Salmon, New England Crab Cakes, Pan Seared Red Snapper Served with Sunflower Seed Risotto, and Peppercorn Crusted Pork Tenderloin. Additional highlights will include items such as Sweet Summer Lobster Salad Sandwich, Apple Cider New York Strip, Calamari Salad and Double Chocolate Mousse Cake. "These recipes draw on my past experiences in kitchens around the country, which give regional favorites a new twist," said Poe.
