SHERATON BALTIMORE NORTH WELCOMES EXECUTIVE CHEF PEELS
Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, Chef Peels' journey began at the young age of 15, where he accepted his first restaurant position at the historic Harryman House in Reisterstown. Since then, he has dedicated his career to perfecting his craft across Maryland and the Mid-Atlantic, always staying true to his roots.
“I’m thrilled to return to Towson and bring my journey full circle,” says Peels. “This city shaped my early passion for cooking, and I’m honored to now lead the culinary team at Sheraton Baltimore North.”
His impressive career spans premier kitchens and major hotel brands, including Marriott and Hilton International. Chef Peels honed his leadership skills at iconic venues such as Dalesio’s Fine Dining in Little Italy, Baltimore Renaissance, and The Gaylord National Resort, where he served more than 2,600 guests daily and surpassed $1 million in food sales during the holiday season. Most recently, he played a key role in the opening of The Marriott Washington Capitol Hill, overseeing all culinary operations and the acclaimed rooftop restaurant, Yara.
Chef Peels graduated from Baltimore International College. His philosophy centers around sustainability, farm-to-table ingredients, and mentoring the next generation of chefs. He is known for crafting seasonal menus highlighting local produce, fresh herbs, and regional proteins.
“We are excited to welcome Chef Peels to the Sheraton Baltimore North family,” said Skip Cerf, General Manager of Sheraton Baltimore North. “His leadership, creativity, and strong ties to the Baltimore community will elevate our dining experiences and further our commitment to exceptional hospitality.”
As Executive Chef, Peels will oversee all culinary operations at the hotel, including banquet services, in-room dining, and the hotel’s signature restaurant. Guests can look forward to refreshed menus, locally inspired dishes, and a renewed focus on guest experience through food.
