Academy of Culinary Arts Honoree

Kevin Scull of the Golden Nugget

Chef Kevin Scull is a 1985 graduate of Atlantic Cape’s Academy of Culinary Arts and is food and beverage director at the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City. Immediately following graduation, Scull began his career in the Atlantic City restaurant industry. He opened the former Trump Castle property, where he garnered experience working in many areas of the casino, including Delfinos French Restaurant. Scull earned a restaurant chef position at the acclaimed La Palais restaurant at Resorts International, where he was soon promoted to executive sous chef. Scull’s culinary education and experience prepared him for the opportunity of a lifetime—opening his own restaurant, Scully’s Asbury Café & Pizzeria in Ocean City. Scull has since returned to his roots, working at the Golden Nugget. He has maintained a strong relationship with the ACA as a member of the Academy’s Advisory Board and as an adjunct instructor—a position that allows him an opportunity to influence the success of future chefs. Scull and his wife, Kari have two sons.
