The professional kitchen is a team environment, full of unsung heroes– the working cooks who make it all possible. Every well-known chef has risen to the top of the profession with guidance and training from others. They have been mentored, prodded, encouraged, taught a skill, given a first job or a second chance.
Today, Chef Celebration Foundation of San Diego is passing on this tradition of learning and support to San Diego’s rising stars.
