As many as 1,400 people can come through the Pechanga Buffet doors each day. They’re all there to enjoy the international array of foods Chef Krystle Schenk and her team prepares around the clock for the popular restaurant. Chef Krystle Schenk describes herself as always feeling completely comfortable in the kitchen. She fondly remembers spending time with her mom and sisters making holiday dishes during family get togethers.
She took Introduction to Cooking classes in high school, but her decision to follow her culinary passion came long before. “It was the only thing I was ever really interested in.” Krystle enrolled in the Art Institute of California in Orange County and began working toward her culinary degree. She worked in restaurants in the Palm Springs area then traded in the desert heat to work at Pechanga. When the head buffet chef position presented itself in the summer of 2019, Krystle saw an opportunity to again expand her culinary prowess. She always brings her cooking back to her guests.

The Pechanga Buffet offers the hungry a wide-ranging and mouthwatering menu featuring over 250 fresh items and interactive action stations for custom-ordered pastas, sushi, seafood, BBQ and grilled meats, pizza and flatbreads, as well as Asian food, Mexican and Latin specialties, and Italian and Mediterranean options.
