In 1984 Chef Barnes graduated from Johnson and Wales Culinary school with honors and then worked for 2 prestigious hotel chains before finding his true vocation - cheffing at a country inn. After graduation, Kevin worked as a sous chef at one of Vermont's most luxurious country inns and then as executive chef for two other historic inns before taking the position as executive chef for the Echo Lake Inn in early 1989. During these past ten years, Kevin's culinary achievements have been featured in numerous magazines including Gourmet, Bon Appetit, Vermont Magazine, Okemo Magazine and published in many travel books and newspapers. (See the dining page for some of his featured recipes) Once you have dined at the Echo lake Inn you will understand why his food is featured so often. Recently, one of Kevin's recipes was used as part of a "Taste of Vermont" campaign to promote the many flavors of Vermont.

Now, as part of the Echo Lake Inn family, Chef Kevin and his staff look forward to welcoming you to the inn to enjoy one of the many delicious culinary treats available every day of the week.
