Ment’or is excited to announce Team USA 2027 for the Bocuse d’Or, which will take place in Lyon, France, in January 2027. Congratulations to Head Chef Vincenzo Loseto and Commis Tyler Higson, who have been selected to carry this honor on the world’s most prestigious culinary stage.
10 years ago, Vincenzo won the Ment’or Young Chef Competition. He went on to assist on the Gold-winning Team USA 2017, an experience that further fueled his pursuit of the highest standards of culinary excellence and his drive to return to Lyon — and ultimately, the podium. We’re so proud that Vincenzo and Tyler will be representing the United States in 2027!
We’re thrilled that Chef Mathew Peters will serve as Head Coach for the team. The first American chef to win gold at the Bocuse d’Or in Lyon (2017), Matt has continued to support Team USA as a mentor and advisor. He now returns to lead the next generation, coaching Head Chef Vincenzo Loseto — his former teammate on the historic gold-medal team — bringing their journey full circle.
Next up on their #RoadtoLyon is competing regionally in the “Americas Continental Selection” for a chance to be among the 24 countries that advance to the Bocuse d’Or finale in Lyon. The finale takes place over two days, with 24 teams cooking in a high-energy, arena-style setting — think the World Cup for chefs. Candidates will present final dishes inspired by the year’s theme.
