McGrath won the prestigious James Beard "Best Chef in America: Southwest'' in 2001. He has been nominated seven times. Presently, Chef McGrath serves as the host of the Emmy-award winning "Check Please! Arizona,'' a PBS television show that focus on restaurant reviews.

"Our goal was to identify a five-star chef who would create cuisine for the resort that would be a key element of the luxury experience at Mustang Monument,'' said Madeleine Pickens, philanthropist, business woman and founder of the Mustang Monument Eco-Resort. "Chef McGrath is well known for his culinary expertise, including using seasonal ingredients repurposed with a Southwest twist, and we are honored to have him with us."

Chef McGrath is author of "American Western Cooking from Roaring Fork'' and has appeared on numerous national television programs include The Today Show, Good Morning America and Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.

"I've been fortunate in my career to have the opportunity to work in many amazing situations.  Mustang Monument is a new-style luxury resort that focuses on an important cause: Saving Wild Mustangs,'' said McGrath. "At this establishment, my goal is provide an unforgettable culinary experience and good energy in a totally unique setting.''
