Disneyland has lost its culinary director.
Napa Rose
The Orange County Register has confirmed with Disneyland officials that Andrew Sutton, culinary director of signature dining for the Disneyland Resort, has left the company. Those officials have not given a reason for Sutton’s departure.
Sutton joined Disney in April 2000 and was part of the recent refurbishment and revamping of Napa Rose at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel, as well as Carthay Circle in Disney California Adventure and the private Club 33. He also debuted 21 Royal in 2017, an $18,000 multi-course dining experience in New Orleans Square.

Chef Andrew served as the executive chef at Auberge du Soleil in Napa Valley, CA, where he won two Chef of the Year awards. He was also sous chef with Dean Fearing at the 5-star 5-diamond Mansion on Turtle Creek in Dallas, Texas. As Culinary Director for Disney Resorts, he has garnered critical acclaim and multiple awards for Disney restaurants.
