Come celebrate Mithra Wines with Chef Host Thomas Keller at his Miami restaurant, The Surf Club, to support 15 Years of Ment’or, the charity he founded with Chefs Daniel Boulud and Jérôme Bocuse. 

Ment’or was initially created to recruit and train Team USA to compete at the most prestigious bi-ennial international culinary competition, the Bocuse d’Or. Team USA has achieved unprecedented success, winning the silver medal in the 2015 competition and Gold for the first time ever in 2017.

In 2014, our Ment’or Grant Program for Continuing Education was launched so that applicants could apply for a grant to study food, wine, or culinary service at restaurants around the world. It was followed by the creation of our Young Chef & Commis Competition series to find up and coming culinary leaders and talented young chefs, to identify future ambassadors for the culinary arts, and to showcase the skill level and cuisine in America.

Our special 15th Anniversary celebration commemorates all that we have achieved and all that we are looking forward to accomplishing in the future. This evening will lay the foundation for our next 15 years and beyond.

Please join Chef Keller and Aria Mehrabi of Mithra Wines for this very special evening of curated dishes and wine pairings in honor of Ment’or and learn more about what we do to support Team USA and the next generation of great culinary leaders in America.
