About Andrew Black:
Chef Andrew Black, the 2023 James Beard Award winner for Best Chef Southwest, and a 2022 James Beard Award semifinalist for Outstanding Chef, is a chef, restaurateur, and entrepreneur in Oklahoma City, where he is co-founder of restaurant group Culinary Edge Concepts. Born in Jamaica to an Indo-Jamaican family, where roti was cooked on a handmade clay oven over an open fire, chef Black was often tasked with building outdoor clay ovens for his grandmother as a child. Black worked his way through the island’s resort kitchens before staging his way through fine-dining restaurants in Europe as a young adult with the support of the Jamaican government, and finally finding himself as a business leader and tastemaker in Oklahoma City with the inimitable fine-dining venture Grey Sweater, trend-setting Black Walnut, and chic patisserie Gilded Acorn. He is the author of the cookbook Foraging in Oklahoma: Tales and Recipes from the Open Road, as told to The Oklahoman’s Steve Lackmeyer. His work has been featured by The Wall Street Journal, Wine Enthusiast magazine (50 Best Restaurants 2022), Zagat Stories, and Thrillist. Chef Black is proud to return to The Skirvin Hotel to open his new restaurant Perle Mesta in the spring of 2024.
