Chef Andrew Peterson's journey began in the quiet sanctuary of the kitchen, where a dedication to craftsmanship outweighed the spotlight. His foundational focus evolved across diverse culinary landscapes, from mastering the meticulous art of sushi in Ashland to honing advanced techniques amidst the breathtaking vistas of New Zealand, Big Sky, and Telluride.

Along the way, he refined a highly sophisticated, bespoke culinary style through exclusive private dinner parties. This intimate canvas allowed for deep experimentation with artisan sourdough baking, complex fermentation, and precision knife work, establishing a culinary philosophy rooted in patience, technique, and exceptional ingredients.

For the past three years, Chef Andrew has been an integral creative force at MÄS, collaborating with Chef Josh Dorcak in a highly curated, intimate tasting-menu setting. It was within this refined environment that he transformed a quiet disposition into a passion for tableside storytelling that elevates an exceptional meal into an unforgettable memory.

Chef Andrew now leads the kitchen at NAMA—a long-revered personal favorite—bringing a masterful blend of global experience and visionary artistry to the chef's counter.
