Executive Chef Kyle Rhodes 
Chef Kyle Rhodes’ culinary journey began at a young age, inspired by his stepmother’s passion for cooking. By 13, he knew his future was in the kitchen, and by 16, he had already stepped into the professional culinary world at Bernard’s Surf in Cocoa Beach.

After honing his skills at Keiser University’s Culinary Program and competing in culinary competitions, Kyle’s career accelerated at Walt Disney World’s Vero Beach Resort, where he was mentored in high-level techniques and kitchen operations. He then took on leadership roles in family-owned establishments, refining his expertise in both cuisine and restaurant management. 
His talents led him to Dogfish Head Brewery in Delaware, where he helped open a seafood-focused restaurant before returning to Orlando to oversee one of Disney Springs’ busiest kitchens. Seeking a deeper creative experience, he joined Norman Van Aken’s team at Norman’s Orlando, contributing to the restaurant’s recognition as a James Beard Foundation Semi-Finalist for Outstanding Restaurant in America in 2019.

Kyle then expanded his expertise in large-scale banquets at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin before playing a key role in opening the Swan Reserve. His career later took him to the Bahamas with Atlantis Resort, then back to the U.S. to lead culinary operations at the Westin in Savannah, GA. Returning to Norman’s Orlando, he helped the restaurant achieve numerous accolades, including being named Best New Restaurant in Florida by Southern Living Magazine and Best in Orlando by Orlando Magazine in 2024. 
 
Now, as Executive Chef at Forty1, Kyle brings his wealth of experience, leadership, and creativity to deliver an elevated Sedona dining experience.
