The chef of an upscale Disneyland Resort restaurant won a prestigious culinary award earlier this month.
Andrew Sutton, the executive chef of Napa Rose in the Grand Californian Hotel, was one of four recipients of the Antonin Careme Medal, which is given by the Chefs Association of the Pacific Coast.
The medal honors Sutton for his achievements, including Napa Rose’s menu that has ingredients from throughout California. Sutton helped launch the five-star restaurant when it opened about nine years ago, according to a Disneyland Resort press release.
“This medal means so much to me,” Sutton said in a prepared statement. “It is truly humbling to be recognized for outstanding and lasting contributions. For me, what it’s really about are the people I work with and the guests we serve.”
Sutton accepted the award on Nov. 16 in San Francisco.
Before he joined the Disneyland Resort in 2000, Sutton worked at the Napa Valley’s Auberge du Soleil, an internationally known boutique property, for about seven years, according to the Disneyland Resort. Sutton graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in 1987.
