Stonebridge Country Club

Executive Chef Javier Laurie

For Executive Chef Javier Laurie, CEC, WCEC, creating enticing meals with a quality presentation is key to building lasting, memorable moments at Stonebridge Country Club.

“We provide high-quality products and first-class service because to me and my culinary team, the members are like family and the club is an extension of their home. It’s the greatest compliment when I can interact with members and hear the shared memories they’ve made around the meals we’ve served,” says Laurie, the award-winning cuisine master.

Originally from Lima, Peru, Laurie, an experienced cook with more than 18 years of experience, has recently earned a bronze medal at the 2022 Chef of the Year competition hosted by the American Culinary Federation.

Laurie, who is also the second vice president of the Federation’s Palm Beach chapter, earned the award due to his advanced culinary skills in the competition against 15 top chefs across the country and his community efforts in guiding young students in the kitchen.

“Cooking is in my bones. Since I can remember, I’ve been exploring different methods and styles of growing my craft, and I’m honored I get to share those skills with the future generation of chefs,” says Laurie, who’s been the executive chef at Stonebridge since 2017.

When he’s in the kitchen with his multicultural team, they collaborate to bring different creative and cultural techniques for an exceptional dining experience at the club.

“Paying attention to small details is the thing that separates us from other country clubs. We strive to keep up to date with the various trends of the cooking world while providing the traditional and classical meals our members cherish,” Laurie says.

At Stonebridge Country Club, members can enjoy delicious gourmet meals and nightly theme recipes that cater to just about any occasion. They can also experience Chef Laurie’s signature meals like his special Bouillabaisse, a French soup made with diver scallops, middle neck clams, jumbo shrimp, lobster meat and Pei mussels served in a tomato saffron fennel broth topped with homemade rustic French baguette crostini.

“When I put a plate down in front of a member or their guest and I see the reaction of enjoyment because of the time and attention I took to perfect my craft, that fuels me to continue cooking and to continue engaging with our community,” he says.
