Service Excellence Chefs and "Salon Culinaire.com "Chef of Chefs"

 

This section is reserved exclusively by salonculinaire.com as a tribute to the accomplishments, contributions, exceptional leadership and dedication of past and present chefs who have made a significant impact on the Australian Professional Cookery Industry.

This is a different kind of list. It is not a list of chefs who run famous restaurants or hotels, though many of them do or have done. It is not a list that advertises their business. It is a list of industry  respected professional Australian chefs who have significantly  and measurably contributed to the development of the professional Australian kitchen culture. They have either: written successful culinary books, managed chef associations, represented Australia in culinary teams, set trends, are opinion leaders and/ or are innovators. There is external evidence of their contribution to the industry

This list is not yet completed, research and a peer driven selection processes will identify many other chefs. Email George with your nomination, include definable reasons why the nomination should be included in this recognition of service excellence.  See "eligibility definitions". 

We accept nominations by email for membership in "who is who". Salonculinaire.com sets its own standards for inclusion, primarily requiring a nomination with endorsement, evidence of previous peer acknowledgement and “definitions

 

This is just a small way we say thank you for going that extra mile and a platform where chefs "who make things happen" are identified in one industry brigade.
