In 1963, ACF created the Chef of the Year Award to acknowledge Walter
Roth, AAC, for his tireless efforts to promote and elevate the
profession. The award has grown in prestige, and today is the highest
honor annually bestowed by ACF.
The U.S.A.’s Chef of the Year™ award recognizes an
outstanding culinarian who works and cooks in a full-service dining
facility. This person has demonstrated the highest standard of culinary
skills, advanced the cuisine of America and given back to the profession
through the development of students and apprentices.
Regional winners compete in a culinary competition at the national
convention, where a panel of distinguished judges will select the
national winner.
