Los Angeles’ RockSugar Pan Asian Kitchen Receives Achievement of Excellence Award at the 2016 American Culinary Federation National Convention St. Augustine, Fla., August 30, 2016—The American Culinary Federation (ACF), the nation’s premier organization of professional chefs, honored RockSugar Pan Asian Kitchen, Los Angeles, with an Achievement of Excellence Award at Cook. Craft. Create. Convention & Show held in Phoenix, July 15-19. RockSugar Pan Asian Kitchen was one of 14 operations to receive the award from ACF national president Thomas Macrina, CEC, CCA, AAC. The award recognizes foodservice establishments that exemplify a commitment to excellence and a passion for the culinary arts. Criteria for the award include nomination by an ACF chapter, member or individual in the foodservice profession; consistent dedication to excellence in foodservice; and involvement in the community. RockSugar Pan Asian Kitchen is an upscale casual destination from restaurateur, David Overton, and Singapore-raised, New York-trained Chef Mohan Ismail. RockSugar showcases the cuisines of Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and India. The restaurant also features a full-service bar with an extensive wine list and exotic cocktails. An on-site bakery allows RockSugar to create fresh-made desserts that infuse traditional French flair into nearly a dozen Asian-influenced items. The design and décor at RockSugar were inspired by an exotic resort in the Maldives, with two main dining rooms, terraces lined with water-walls and a private dining room with its own terrace and fire pit. “The American Culinary Federation is thrilled to recognize RockSugar Pan Asian Kitchen with an Achievement of Excellence Award because of its commitment to providing high-quality food and an enjoyable dining experience to customers,” said Macrina.
