Capitol Lakes

Here at Capitol Lakes, we enjoy so many wonderful meals thanks to our talented culinary team, and today we’re excited to spotlight our Chef de Cuisine, Eric Benedict.

Eric has been part of our community for just over two years, bringing fresh ideas, thoughtful menu planning, and a deep appreciation for how meaningful dining is to residents. As he shares, “I love how much our residents enjoy their meals here, and what a big part of their daily life the dining experience we provide for them is. It is very validating.”

Eric’s favorite food is Vietnamese cuisine — especially bun bo hue, pho, fresh spring rolls, and banh mi, all known for their clean, bright flavors. When he’s not in the kitchen, he enjoys foraging, hiking, and traveling.

Thank you, Eric, for sharing your talent and making every meal an experience to remember at Capitol Lakes! 🍽️

Behind every great meal is a great chef! 👨‍🍳 Today we’re spotlighting Mark Walters, our Executive Chef and the creative mind behind the delicious dining experiences we enjoy here at Capitol Lakes.

Mark has been part of our community for 10 years, bringing bold flavors, thoughtful menu planning, and a genuine love for serving residents. As he shares, “I enjoy cooking food and planning menus for our residents. I love and appreciate the strong culinary team we have at Capitol Lakes.”

A fan of all types of cuisines, Mark’s creativity doesn’t stop in the kitchen — he also loves drawing and painting, working on home projects, and coaching baseball.

Thank you, Mark, for guiding our kitchen with passion and setting the standard for exceptional dining. Our community is lucky to have you.
