Earlier this week, we hosted the annual Gala for our André Soltner Grant Program. The program honors the legacy of Chef Soltner and his lifelong commitment to mentorship. Rooted in the tradition of master chefs guiding the next generation, the Grant Program provides life-changing opportunities for young cooks to train in some of the world’s best restaurants.
These experiences connect rising chefs with top mentors, immerse them in new cultures and cuisines, and inspire them to return home as lifelong learners dedicated to giving back to the profession.
Hosts Chefs Daniel Boulud and Thomas Keller were joined by many of their esteemed colleagues for a night of exceptional food, camaraderie, and craft — a true reflection of the generosity and spirit that define our culinary community. We’re deeply grateful to all the chefs, sponsors and guests who made the evening possible. Together, we are strengthening the future of the culinary profession!
