San Diego Metropolitan - Arterra Chef’s Talents Include Preparing Impressive Monthly Wine Dinners

Arterra Executive Chef Carl Schroeder continually produces some of the finest cuisine in the city. His culinary talent is only superseded by his ambition and tenacity.

In his quest to use the finest products available, Schroeder takes full advantage San Diego’s abundance of fresh seafood and local farm produce. He seeks out the best in imported meats, artisan cheeses and specialty ingredients to create dishes that are nothing less than spectacular.

Wine aficionados flock to Arterra’s impressive monthly wine dinners where Schroeder and Co. pair some of today’s most sought-after wines with elegant interpretations of bold American fare.

A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, Hyde Park, Carl Schroeder never ceases to impress. From his whole leaf romaine lacquered with a pungent, viscous Caesar dressing to “Hot Smoked Salmon and Osetra Caviar Bites,” or “Barbeque Braised Beef Short Ribs” with forest mushroom risotto and glazed baby vegetables, Schroeder’s impeccable eye for detail and good sense of flavor keep the discerning on the reservation books week after week.
