Executive Chef

Dan Davila

Daniel Davila’s culinary and managerial expertise spans nearly 25 years in various local restaurants and most recently as Supervisor with Parkhurst at Valparaiso University, where he served the production and meal preparation needs of their diverse clientele.  His passion for culinary creations is matched by a zeal for the highest quality in production and service.  He is ServSafe Certified, the only training agent for food and alcohol safety training and certification exams created by foodservice professionals.  

As Executive Chef, Dan’s leadership and mentoring skills are essential to team development and ensuring the highest quality service for our residents, guests, and staff at Residences at Coffee Creek. It’s as important as his dedication to quality and planning and preparing for a great menu. His passion for personally creating beautiful, delectable and healthy main dishes is apparent whether for breakfast or an outdoor grill fest. Dan insists on using the freshest ingredients, preparing from scratch, taking the time for details to delight the senses. He understands how vital it is to stimulate and delight the senses, appreciating their ability to enhance and entice appetite, so essential for optimal senior living. 

“Midnight Nachos” is his pleasure to make on a Saturday night in the family’s home theater where he and his wife enjoy their blended family of five.  Their lives together are active—road trips, watching comedies and action movies, and Dan loves to work on cars. He’s very mechanically inclined and able to fix equipment used in food service kitchens. He’s a welder and he has even taken classes for nursing, but time and again, he came to realize his true calling is making people happy by cooking great meals that bring them joy.
