La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs is an international gastronomic society founded in 1950 in Paris to revive the traditions of the royal guild of goose roasters chartered in 1248. The Chaîne is dedicated to bringing together those who share a mutual interest in cuisine, wine, and fine dining in a spirit of camaraderie. For professional members, such as chefs, restaurateurs and hoteliers, the Chaîne offers opportunities to demonstrate their exceptional skills and creativity to a discerning, appreciative audience.
We are very proud of our chefs and students, and we're looking forward to a great partnership with the Chaine des Rotisseurs organization and members! Congratulations to all those inducted! What a great honor!
