This October, OKANA Resort welcomes one of the most respected names in the culinary world as Chef Christina Wilson returns to Oklahoma City for an exclusive appearance at the inaugural OKANAFest, Oklahoma’s first resort-wide food, wine, and entertainment festival.

Best known as the winner of Season 10 of Hell's Kitchen, Chef Wilson spent more than a decade helping build the Gordon Ramsay restaurant empire, opening acclaimed restaurants around the world before launching her own hospitality consulting firm. Now, she's bringing that expertise back to a city she's proud to call one of her favorites.

That connection began while helping launch Ramsay's Kitchen at Chisholm Creek, where she discovered that Oklahoma City exceeded every expectation.

"The people here make you feel at home instantly. I was pleasantly surprised by the dynamic food, cocktail, and art scene. This city is packed with talent. You can feel that Oklahoma City is on the cusp of a true renaissance."

Now, she's returning to OKANAFest, where she'll join OKANA's Director of Culinary, Chef Wyatt Rogers, to showcase the talent, creativity, and hospitality defining Oklahoma City's food scene today.
