Chef Norman Fenton's passion for food began at an early age, cooking in kitchens as a teen in Detroit, MI, before attending the Art Institute of Michigan to further cultivate his culinary skills. Post-graduation, he cut his teeth at restaurants across southeast Michigan before moving to Chicago in 2015. Here, he entered the world of fine dining, working with the prestigious Alinea Group and then at fine dining haven Schwa where he rose through the ranks to become Chef de Cuisine and maintained their MICHELIN status during his tenure. In 2019, he took a nine-month road trip from Chicago to Mexico, traveling throughout both countries to immerse himself in the innovative food scene of different locales, finding great inspiration from Mexico City, Chiapas, Oaxaca, Michoacan, and Monterrey before finally settling for a period in Tulum. Norman’s ethos is that food should always provoke fun or emotion. Renowned for his elaborate and innovative dishes created in Chicago and Tulum, he brings a new Latin-inspired tasting menu experience to the city with Cariño, his love letter to the culture and places he holds dear to his heart.
