Thank you for your additional contribution to The Banchet Awards!

Chicago Chefs Cook and Ever's Michael Muser have teamed up to host the highly-anticipated award show celebrating Chicago's culinary and hospitality industries. Proceeds raised by The Banchet Awards will benefit the Virtue Leadership Development Program, a non-profit organization led by Chef Erick Williams, the 2022 recipient of the Jean Banchet Award for Chef of the Year. The program serves as a vehicle to equip local young adults of color with the necessary skills to learn value-driven entrepreneurship through training at Virtue Restaurant.

The Banchet Awards for Culinary Excellence are brought to you in part by Chicago Chefs Cook, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that unites Chicagoland chefs to raise money for humanitarian causes, both local and global, that are on the hearts and minds of the city's culinary and hospitality industries.

Follow us @thebanchetawards and @chicagochefscook to be the first to know about future events.
