*I seen this video and said to myself "hey I've been there before" so I just had to click on it and give it a watch. I even read your accompying article on this place as well and to my surprise you and I where both there around the same time.* *Sous Chef Mari Richardson (whom everyone called her Chef Mary) is the best Chef ever and I'm well traveled so that's saying alot. And that was the consensus of the entire group I was with thanks to the attention to detail and quality of the food Chef Mari provided us with at every meal 🤤 it really was the highlight of that entire trip.* *Did you not get the pleasure of interacting with her? I only ask because you didn't mention her by name in your write up if you did. Anyways the group I went with and I was planning a return trip/wedding there until we heard from someone at Carter Creek that she became a Head Chef elsewhere and is no longer there at Carter Creek.*

Hi, thanks for your comment. We really enjoyed our time at Carter Creek. We did not meet the head chef so I’m not sure if Mari/Mary was there or not. We had two excellent servers in Samantha and David and Michelle was our outstanding host for the wine tasting. Carter Creek is a beautiful place and I hope we get a chance to return sometime soon. Thanks again. Safe travels.

​​​​@@ScottKendallatPlayStayEat *No problem on the comment your videos really do deserve more interaction (views, likes and comments) tbh.* *But yes the now Head Chef Mari Richardson really spoiled us with her signature "Chef's Table" style of service and approach. It was truly rememberable because of how uniquely personable it was, she has really set the bar high for other Chefs moving forward being real a delight and a skilled gem. Since we were both there at or around the same time she had to have been there still. It really is ashame that you didn't get the chance to meet her for whatever reason.* *Well just a side note after looking at more of your videos from around the same time frame and seeing the other activities that you're into you might want to give Horseshoe Bay Resort or Camp Lucy/Tillies a go if ever in that area again and wanting to try a different place. Both are about 30 minutes away from Carter Creek in 2 separate directions, happy trails to you as well.*

Thanks for the comment. I’ll have to check out Horseshoe Bay and see if Chef Mari is still there. I’m a retired tennis coach and we used to have our annual Texas high school tennis coaches convention at Horseshoe Bay. Also, I have been to Camp Lucy for a wedding. Very pretty venue. Thanks for the recommendations and I’ll be sure to check them out.

​​​​@@ScottKendallatPlayStayEat*Oh ok I didn't realize you had already been to both Horseshoe Bay Resort and Camp Lucy/Tillie's before since I didnt see any content about them made by you.* *And I'm afraid that you have misunderstood me somewhere, somehow because I never said Chef Mari was ever at Horseshoe Bay but you would be doing yourself a favor if you remember her name in case you come across her on your various travels she is beyond professional. Well thank you for this discourse.*
