Our Team
Makes all the difference
We Love What We Do!
We are extraordinarily lucky to live and work in the beautiful Outer Banks of North Carolina. Planning incredible celebrations and being a part of many life-changing events – is a big responsibility and it is a privilege that we take seriously. Through our work, we build strong relationships with clients and guests – by taking care of them, showing them genuine southern hospitality, and sharing with them the many things that make the Outer Banks, and the Kitty Hawk Pier House, so special.

Lou Hunt
EXECUTIVE CHEF
Lou Hunt is the Executive Chef at Hilton Garden Inn Outer Banks/Kitty Hawk. Lou has over 20 years experience cooking and serving local seafood, steaks, and pasta dishes to hungry patrons of the Outer Banks. He credits three strong, southern women for inspiring his love of cooking… having a great-grandmother from Alabama that would work her magic with traditional low country dishes, a grandmother from North Carolina with a love of the fresh, local ingredients, and a mother with a passion for international cuisine and a curiosity to experiment. These mentors, and their love of cooking, as well as his own experiences living and cooking in California, Florida, Alabama, Washington State, North Carolina and Germany have all helped to flavor the cuisine of our multitalented chef. When he’s not busy creating delicious meals and memorable experiences for our guests, he can be found with his wife and daughter enjoying the beautiful, Outer Banks beaches, or shooting hoops (and making a few) at the local gym.
