Winner Of The Antonin Carême Medal And Executive Of The Napa Rose Restaurant Andrew Sutton, Is Talking With Us About His Newest Dishes

Sutton graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in 1987 but his passion for cooking was established years before. Learning from parents who he deemed “great cooks,” Sutton took his familial knowledge and worked in various casual eateries in his hometown of Dallas. The flavorful road between those first jobs and his first 10 years as a chef was filled with learning various culinary techniques including French, California, and Southwest cuisine.

In 1993, Sutton was recruited to the internationally acclaimed boutique property, Napa Valley’s Auberge du Soleil. In 2000, he joined the Disneyland Resort. Since then, his contributions to the profession have been demonstrated in his ability to bring Napa Valley’s “earth to table” cuisine to Disneyland Resort guests. “We are extremely proud of Chef Sutton for this achievement. It is a tribute to his culinary excellence and his good character,” said Tony Bruno, vice president, Resort hotels and Downtown Disney. “His influence has been instrumental in shaping Napa Rose into an award-winning dining experience.”

The Antonin Carême Medal, which was awarded to Julia Child in 1974, was founded by The Chefs Association of the Pacific Coast, Inc. in 1969. Sutton is the 148th individual to receive the medal in the program’s 40-year history. Ferdinand Metz, former president of the Culinary Institute of America, and Bradley Ogden, who is celebrated for his New American Cuisine, also have received the award. “Chef Sutton has set a benchmark for excellence and creativity throughout his career,” said Master Sommelier Frederick L. Dame, who serves as a trustee for the Antonin Carême Awards. “Napa Rose is a perfect example of his dedication to the culinary arts and continued exploration in refining his craft. He exemplifies the Antonin Carême Medal Awards’ extraordinarily high standards.”
