Angy Dykstra, Senior Sous Chef

With more than 25 years in the culinary and hospitality industry, Chef Angy Dykstra brings an amplitude of experience, knowledge and skill to the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown.  Her creative culinary vision is evidenced with each bite, as she reinvents simple, fresh ingredients into vibrant, modern dishes inspired by the Five C's of Arizona: Cattle, Copper, Climate, Cotton and Citrus. 

Her passion for crafting farm-to-table cuisine using locally sourced ingredients began back in her hometown Lake of the Ozarks, Mo.  Her love of culinary would propel her to hone her skills and in 2010 she earned an Associate Degree in Culinary Arts from The Art Institute of Phoenix.  Shortly after graduation she joined the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown culinary team at District American Kitchen & Wine Bar. Her focus, drive and impeccable palate would continue to excel her career within District and in 2022 she was promoted to Senior Sous Chef.  In this role, Chef Angy worked tirelessly to cultivate and maintain the stellar reputation of Carcara both among guests and downtown Phoenix locals alike.
