Chef Lindsay Autry was born and raised in Fayetteville, North Carolina where she inherited a love of cooking at an early age. Spending time on her grandfather’s peach farm and alongside her Greek grandmother in the kitchen are among her childhood influences. Chef Lindsay describes her cuisine as Southern soul meets world, a combination of nostalgic favorites and bold Mediterranean flavors. With “farm-to-table” as a way of life growing up, Lindsay takes her cues from seasonal, locally harvested ingredients when creating her classic yet refined dishes. A graduate of Johnson & Wales University in Miami, Lindsay honed her classic French cooking techniques under the James Beard Award winning chef Michelle Bernstein, starting at Azul at the Mandarin Oriental in Miami. Lindsay served as Executive Chef at the Omphoy Ocean Resort & Michelle Bernstein Restaurant in Palm Beach and Sous Chef at Fiesta Americana Grand Aqua in Cancun as well as receiving international acclaim as the Chef de Cuisine at Las Brisas at the Fairmont in Playa del Carmen. She was named a Restaurant Hospitality Rising Star in 2008 and was one of three finalists on the 2011-12 season of Top Chef Texas. Chef Lindsay has garnered respect from some of the greatest chefs in America and is currently the Executive Chef at Sundy House Historic Inn, Restaurant and Botanical Garden in Delray Beach, Florida as well as the Resident Chef for Swank Table in Loxahatchee Groves. She gives her time graciously to causes that are meaningful to her such as Share Our Strength and participates in many local food culture and community fundraising events.
