Chef
Executive Chef Robert Lang, has made his way from his family's restaurant kitchen in Graz, Austria, to various Alpine ski resorts and sun-drenched hostelries in tropical climates. Today Chef Lang has found a permanent home in our Chicago fine dining establishment as Stetson's Chop House and Hyatt Regency Chicago's Executive Chef.
Lang graduated from the hotel school Bad Gleichenbuerg in Austria. He has held several culinary positions in countries such as Switzerland, Israel, and Germany. Lang joined Hyatt Hotels in 1979 as a Sous Chef at Hyatt Regency Chicago. Since joining Hyatt, he has also worked as the Sous Chef at Hyatt Regency Acapulco and Executive Chef at Hyatt Regency O'Hare. In 1986, Lang helped open the Hyatt Regency Waikoloa on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Lang enjoys preparing new menus for his Chicago dining ventures and refuses to choose a favorite of the ethnic cuisine he most enjoys to prepare. "I like so many," he says. "Chinese, Greek, German, Italian, Japanese -- you name it. I could never choose just one."
