Guest Chefs

Douglas Keane

Douglas Keane

Chef and owner, Cyrus

Born in Detroit, planted in Sonoma. Doug brought his midwest work ethic to San Francisco back in 1998. Along the way, he stopped at Cornell University for a degree in Hotel Management and in New York City where he earned his self-described “master’s degree” cooking in some of the finest restaurants in the world.

A few years after landing in San Francisco he moved north to Sonoma County and quickly realized he had found his new home. He describes Sonoma County as the best place in the world to live and work. He values the honor of taking arguably the world’s greatest agricultural products, grown right here in Sonoma, and transforming them into a thoughtful meal to be enjoyed by his guests. He is eternally grateful for the deep support of the Cyrus investors who saw through the darkness of a worldwide pandemic and chose to support an ambitious project.

Josh Gaulin

Josh Gaulin

Pastry Chef, Cyrus

Born and raised in the suburbs of Richmond, VA, food was far from a central part of Josh’s upbringing. It wasn’t until his first job as a dishwasher in his early teens that he was exposed to the industry and soon fell in love with the pace of the kitchen, and camaraderie within. In 2012 Josh moved to California in pursuit of learning from the best and honing his skills in some of the top kitchens in the country. For the last ten years, Josh has worked at many acclaimed Bay Area restaurants, but cites Quince, Michael Mina, and The Restaurant at Meadowood with being the most formative to his career. He was most recently Executive Pastry Chef on the opening team of the Four Seasons Resort, Napa Valley. He is extremely excited to be part of the Cyrus team for the opportunity to contribute to its storied history and grand rebirth in beautiful Alexander Valley.
