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 also 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 long supported Team USA as a mentor and advisor. He now returns to lead the next generation, coaching Vincenzo — his former teammate on the historic gold-medal team — bringing their journey full circle.
Next on their #RoadtoLyon: the Bocuse d’Or Americas Continental Selection in New Orleans on July 26, where they’ll compete for a spot among the 24 teams advancing to the final in Lyon. The final unfolds over two days in a high-energy, arena-style setting — think the World Cup for chefs.
