2025 Season starts Thursday, May 1st 2025 Calendar & Rates
Hi- I’m Day Dettinburn! I joined the Capon Co-worker team for the 2022 season as the Kitchen Supervisor. At the end of the season, I was promoted to the position of Food Services Manager, in charge of all kitchen operations. This winter I have been busy going through the Capon cookbook, trying recipes at home and consulting with Carolyn Budnyk, Ginny Brill and past kitchen workers on menus and operations. I’m excited about taking this knowledge and building a strong food service team to make the 2023 season the best it can be.
Background:
I grew up running wild and free in the outdoors. Summers were spent watching what my mom and grandma can produce that was grown in our gardens. (That is most likely where my love of cooking came from. ) I moved to Hardy County over 20 years ago. I worked for several years as a chef where I had the privilege of enhancing the special events of people from all over the world. I took a break from that to raise my son. I live with my best friend and partner in crime, Carlos and my son Albert.
Favorite Capon things:
The thing I love the most about Capon is the people I work with. There is genuine love and caring among the staff. Even when we are working hard, we still manage to laugh and carry on. They are all hard working and dedicated to Capon. I am motivated by the desire to be the best version of myself. There are always new things to learn and discover that help me to grow as a person.
I have 2 favorite spots at Capon. Sunset lodge is the obvious answer. The other is the Apple Butter House.
