About Seth Adams:
Summer and weekend catering jobs led chef Seth Adams, a Pittsburgh native, to culinary school, but it was skiing that cemented him to Utah. After banquet chef, sous chef, and executive sous chef positions at restaurants, such as Deer Valley's Snow Park Lodge, Morton's Steak House, and American Skiing Corporation's Grand Summit at Canyons, chef Adams was hired as executive chef at Riverhorse on Main in 2004. Adams and a partner then bought the popular Main Street eatery in July 2011 and transformed the atmosphere to the trendy, urban setting it is today.  Adams keeps his guests happy by maintaining consistency in offering long-standing, crowd-pleasing favorites, but also expressing his sense of creativity and experimenting with flavors and ingredients reflecting the season and his own inspiration.
