Rancho de los Caballeros is excited to introduce Chef Robert Cornett as our new Executive Chef! With a rich culinary journey that began not in culinary school, but in a mechanic&rsquo;s garage. Chef Rob's path to the kitchen has been anything but conventional. His transition from auto mechanic to executive chef is a testament to his passion, dedication, and the belief that inspiration can strike anywhere.

A Unique Culinary Journey
Chef Rob's love for cooking was sparked 19 years ago while watching the Food Network. This led to a pivotal "aha" moment that would eventually guide him away from the world of car repairs and into the culinary arts. Without any formal culinary training, Chef Rob dove headfirst into the restaurant industry, gaining hands-on experience in various kitchens. From country clubs to renowned resorts like Canyon Ranch Wellness Resort, where he spent a decade honing his skills, Chef Rob has consistently climbed the culinary ladder through hard work and a passion for flavors.
Embracing Southwestern Flavors
At Rancho de los Caballeros, Chef Rob is eager to bring his culinary vision to life. His philosophy revolves around evoking memories and comfort through food, presenting familiar flavors in an elevated style. &ldquo;So many memories are wrapped up into food,&rdquo; Chef Rob shares, &ldquo;and really trying to put that on a plate that rekindles those thoughts.&rdquo; With a focus on southwestern and Americana fusion, he aims to incorporate local ingredients, particularly the rich flavors of local chilis, into the resort&rsquo;s menu. His approach to Southwestern cuisine moves beyond just heat, highlighting the depth and complexity of flavors these ingredients can offer.

Innovations in the Kitchen
Since his arrival at Rancho de los Caballeros two years ago, Chef Rob has already begun to influence the resort&rsquo;s culinary offerings. He&rsquo;s particularly proud of his smoked chicken enchiladas, which seamlessly blend the essence of the ranch with southwestern flair. Another favorite is his herb-crusted pork with quinoa, which brings the nostalgic flavors of Thanksgiving to life in an unexpected dish.
Chef Rob also enjoys the challenge of catering to the diverse palates of Rancho's guests, from those seeking comfort food to those wanting a gourmet experience. &ldquo;There is a way to do both,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;Starting with making the comfort food, and putting in that extra effort, that extra love, and plating it in a sophisticated manner.&rdquo;

A Day in the Life
The transition to Executive Chef has been a smooth one, thanks in part to the responsibility Chef Rob took on while working under former Executive Chef Jacob Ellis. His day-to-day involves managing the nuances of all-inclusive dining at Rancho&rsquo;s main dining areas, and the more refined menu at 19, the resort&rsquo;s fine dining restaurant. He&rsquo;s also passionate about sourcing fresh, local produce, making trips to nearby farmers' markets in Prescott to find unique ingredients.

Beyond the Kitchen
When he's not crafting new dishes, Chef Rob is also navigating the logistical challenges of managing a kitchen spread across the ranch&rsquo;s sprawling property. Despite the hurdles, what excites him the most about his role is the freedom to infuse his personality into every dish. From the sizzling outdoor cookouts to the intimate dinners at 19, Chef Rob&rsquo;s influence can be tasted throughout Rancho de los Caballeros.
For Chef Rob, food isn&rsquo;t just about nourishment; it&rsquo;s about experience. As he continues to elevate the dining experience at the Ranch, we look forward to sharing many more memorable meals with our guests.
Come experience Chef Rob&rsquo;s culinary delights and see how he&rsquo;s bringing a new flavor to Rancho de los Caballeros. Whether you're a returning guest or visiting for the first time, prepare to have your taste buds tantalized and your dining experience elevated!

Meet Chef Rob - Rancho de los Caballeros' New Culinary Maestro

Meet Our New Executive Chef

Arizona&rsquo;s Monsoon season is a spectacular and mesmerizing time of year, offering an unparalleled experience for visitors at <a href="https://www.ranchodeloscaballeros.com/">Rancho de los Caballeros</a>. The dramatic weather patterns transform the desert landscape, creating an awe-inspiring display of nature&rsquo;s power and beauty.
The Calm Before the Storm
As the day progresses, you can sense the impending storm. The skies begin to darken, transforming from a bright, clear blue to an ominous, deep black. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation, and the air grows heavy and warm. You can smell the moisture, a subtle yet unmistakable scent that signals the storm's approach. It's almost as if time slows down, and a serene calm envelops the ranch, a quiet before the storm.
<img src="https://daa75584147f917655d1-59896d782e300b43cc119b88e53ad130.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/u/blog-posts/Lightning-over-Wickenburg-by-Mike-Shubic.jpeg" alt="Lightning in Wickenburg" width="1200" height="739" />
The Storm Unleashed
Suddenly, the tranquility is shattered by the first flash of lightning, followed by a thunderous roar that echoes across the desert. The sky lights up with dramatic lightning strikes, each one more intense than the last. The sound of thunder is deep and resonant, rolling across the landscape and vibrating through the ground.
Then, the skies open up, releasing a torrential downpour. The rain pours down in sheets, creating a symphony of sound as it hits the Saltillo tile roofs of the ranch buildings. Inside your cozy room, you remain dry with the comforting sound of rain providing a soothing backdrop. You can hear the water pounding on the roof and cascading off the edges, shedding the water away from the structure.
The Desert Transformed
<img src="https://daa75584147f917655d1-59896d782e300b43cc119b88e53ad130.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/u/blog-posts/Monsoon-in-action-for-blog-Rancho-de-los-Caballeros-post.png" alt="Creek overflow" width="1200" height="682" />
The usually dry desert landscape is quickly transformed. Water begins to pool and flow, filling up the normally dry washes and arroyos. The sound of flowing water becomes a constant presence, a rare and beautiful occurrence in the arid environment. You can watch as small streams form, rushing down the streets and pathways of the ranch.
As the rain slows and the storm begins to dissipate, the air is filled with the fresh, earthy scent of creosote. This distinctive smell, often described as the smell of rain in the desert, permeates the moist air and adds to the sensory experience. Walking around the ranch, you can see and feel the transformation brought by the storm.
Experiencing the Monsoon
The Arizona Monsoon season, which peaks in July and August, is truly a magical time to visit Rancho de los Caballeros. The dramatic weather, with its powerful storms and transformative rains, offers an unforgettable experience. Whether you&rsquo;re watching the storm from the comfort of your room, listening to the rain on the roof, or exploring the rain-soaked desert after the storm, there is nothing quite like it.
The monsoon storms bring a sense of excitement and wonder, showcasing the raw power and beauty of nature. The skies are alive with lightning, the air is thick with anticipation, and the desert anew with each downpour. It&rsquo;s a time of renewal and beauty, where the harshness of the desert is softened by the life-giving rains.

Unplug and Unwind with Roger Clyne: A Weekend of Music and Adventure at Rancho de los Caballeros

Nestled in the heart of the American Southwest, the Rancho de los Caballeros Wranglers Rodeo is a spectacle that captures the essence of historic cowboy traditions. This vibrant event is a tribute to the age-old practices that shaped the cowboy culture and a testament to the enduring spirit of the Old West.
<img src="https://daa75584147f917655d1-59896d782e300b43cc119b88e53ad130.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/u/new-photography-from-client/wranglers-and-horses_07.jpg" alt="" />
The Wranglers Rodeo
At the heart of the rodeo are the traditional practices of roping and calf branding, which are demonstrations of the skills that were once pivotal for cattle ranching. The art of roping, wherein a rider on horseback deftly captures a calf with a lasso, showcases not only precision and dexterity but also a deep understanding of the animal's movements. This practice, steeped in history, was essential for managing cattle on the open ranges and is now a thrilling display for rodeo enthusiasts.
Calf branding, another cornerstone event, involves the careful and humane marking of cattle. This practice dates back centuries and was crucial for identifying ownership of livestock in the vast expanses of the American frontier. We do not actually brand cattle during the rodeo but simply demonstrate how it is done during branding season. In the rodeo, it serves as a reminder of the ranchers' heritage and their close ties to the land and their animals.
Team Roping
A highlight of the Wranglers Rodeo is the team roping event, a dynamic and captivating competition that requires impeccable coordination and teamwork. In this event, two riders, known as the header and the heeler, work in tandem to rope a steer. The header is responsible for roping the steer's horns, while the heeler aims to capture its hind legs. This event not only tests the riders' individual skills but also their ability to synchronize their efforts seamlessly. The sight of horse and rider moving in perfect harmony is a testament to the bond between human and horse, and the skill passed down through generations of cowboys.
Kids Gymkhana
In addition to the main rodeo events, the Rancho de los Caballeros also features the Kids Gymkhana, a delightful series of activities designed for younger participants. This event is a celebration of fun, competition, and the joy of outdoor play, encouraging children to embrace the cowboy spirit in their own unique ways. Some events are completed on foot and some on horseback.
<img src="https://daa75584147f917655d1-59896d782e300b43cc119b88e53ad130.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/u/kids-club/kids-club_04.jpg" alt="" />
The Boots Race
One of the most entertaining events in the Kids Gymkhana is the boots race. In this race, children line up at the starting point, each with a pair of cowboy boots placed a short distance away. At the signal, they dash towards their boots, put them on as quickly as possible, and then sprint to the finish line. The boots race is a charming and lively event that showcases the youngsters' speed and agility, all while honoring the iconic cowboy footwear.
The Stakes Race
Another exciting event is the stakes race, where children navigate a course marked by stakes or poles. They must weave in and out of these markers, displaying their agility and control. The stakes race is a test of precision and quick thinking, mirroring the deft maneuvers required in traditional rodeo events but tailored for young competitors.
The Egg Carry
Egg carry is a classic test of balance and patience. In this event, children must carry an egg on a spoon over a designated course, trying their best not to drop it. The delicate task requires steady hands and concentration, much like the careful handling of livestock in the rodeo. The egg carry is always a crowd-pleaser, with participants and spectators alike holding their breath as the young cowboys and cowgirls make their way to the finish line. This event can be conducted on foot or on horseback.
The Sack Race
Rounding out the Kids Gymkhana is the sack race, a timeless and hilariously fun event. Participants hop along a course with their legs confined in large sacks, racing towards the finish line with boundless enthusiasm. This event can also be conducted on horseback with rider and horse positioning themselves on sacks place on the ground utilizing the traditional rules of a musical chairs game. The sack race is a perfect blend of competition and laughter, capturing the playful spirit of the event and providing endless entertainment for all ages.
In conclusion, the Rancho de los Caballeros Wranglers Rodeo and Kids Gymkhana are vibrant celebrations of Western heritage and cowboy traditions. From the skilled and historic practices of roping and calf branding to the spirited and joyful events of the Kids Gymkhana, these festivities offer a glimpse into the rich tapestry of cowboy culture. They serve as reminders of the values, skills, and camaraderie that define the cowboy way of life and continue to inspire new generations. Whether you're a seasoned rodeo fan or a curious newcomer, the Rancho de los Caballeros Wranglers Rodeo is an experience that captures the heart and soul of the American West.
