Having cultivated an ongoing relationship with the Ment’or organization, we witnessed the arduous culinary preparation as young chefs across America competed for the opportunity to advance from Las Vegas to New Orleans and ultimately to the Bocuse d'Or in Lyon, France, for the final international competition.
The Road to Lyon for Team USA began in New Orleans, widely considered one of the world's top gastronomic epicenters. We witnessed Team USA compete against the best that the Americas had to offer, from Chile to Canada. After a tough battle, they won gold and qualified to compete against top chefs globally.
The prestigious Bocuse d'Or chose the United States to host Americas selection in New Orleans in June. Then, in January 2025, it is off to Lyon, France. The exceptional Bocuse d'Or is known as the Olympics of cuisine and the World Cup for chefs.
