Both students are proud members of the Redan High School Class of 2025 nurtured under the guidance of Chef Instructor Frank Wells, and Keio C. Gayden, CTAE Instructional Coordinator for DeKalb County Schools, and the dynamic Navigate Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering youth through culinary and hospitality training. Throughout their high school careers, Joachim and William have demonstrated extraordinary dedication to the culinary arts, competing in numerous local and state competitions. Most notably, Joachim earned 1st place in the State of Georgia, securing a spot at the FCCLA National Leadership Conference, where he achieved a Top 10 national placement in the STAR Events competition—an achievement that reflects his talent, discipline, & passion. William’s superpower is community involvement and activism. He is a proud scholarship recipient of the U.S. Culinary Open, where he spent a week volunteering alongside chefs from around the globe—a testament to his commitment to service and global culinary engagement. The Landings Culinary Apprenticeship Program is a rigorous 4,000-hour, hands-on experience offering specialized training in both culinary and pastry arts. In partnership with Savannah Technical College, apprentices also have the opportunity to earn an associate’s degree in culinary arts further enhancing their professional credentials and career readiness. Joachim and William represent the very best of what our schools and communities can nurture—talent ambition, and a commitment to excellence. Your continued support whether through mentorship or simply sharing their story—can help ensure these culinarians thrive in this next chapter of their culinary journey. #chefkeiogayden #chefsofthelowcountry #sam.brod7 #luke

🍽️ ACF Chefs of Charlotte – June Meet-Up Recap 🍽️ “Proof Is On the Plate” was more than just a theme — it was a mission in action. Thank you to the Fairfield Inn Charlotte – Uptown for hosting us, and a special shoutout to Hormel Foods and Feeding Charlotte for partnering on this powerful evening. 🌟 From learning about value-added products across the culinary spectrum to making 600 sandwiches for our community’s homeless, this event reminded us what it means to serve — both in and out of the kitchen. 🎶 With DJ Rich keeping the energy high and activities for all ages, this was a night to remember. @feedingcharlotte @hormelfoods @hormelfoodservice @auro_hotels @theburntchefproject #ACFChefsOfCharlotte #ProofIsOnThePlate #FeedingCharlotte #HormelFoods #ChefsThatCare #CommunityThroughCuisine #CharlotteCulinaryScene #ACFStrong

What an amazing evening and event to spend with my friends with the ACF Chefs of Northwest Indiana. ChefDavid Olson and some of our.Live Fire Republic team had an amazing time, grilling up some amazing steaks and raising some money. Chef Eric Marcellus was firing up all of the meats with the help of some of our esteemed guest chefs. This event had so much great camaraderie with so many amazing chefs from all over the Midwest! We feasted not only on the food, but on the good vibes and family Hood we call the American Culinary Federation! #shawnkohlhaas #ggracf #livefirerepublic #culinarycultivations #thelocalfeed #acfchefs #landolakes The Local Feed on WYCE Culinary Cultivations American Culinary Federation Greater Grand Rapids Shawn Kohlhaas Renessa Marquis Gabe Rosado Jack K Velazquez Jr. Darrick Tucker Jr. Oscar M Moreno Maria Santana

I got to spend the whole last week doing social media at the American Culinary Federation’s 2024 National Convention in Phoenix as part of my job as content manager and editor of ACF’s magazine, National Culinary Review! What a fun week packed full of cooking demos with celebrity chefs; education presentations covering AI, health + wellness and more; a full-blown trade show with delicious bites from 90 food vendors; an entire day of timed cooking competitions for students and professional chefs; and to top it all off, a black tie President’s Gala celebrating the winners of those competitions and other award winners! ACF Chefs is a 12,000+ member association for professional chefs working in all segments of the food industry (hospitality, healthcare, universities, clubs + resorts, plus culinary educators and students). I’m proud to be a part of this dynamic group of chefs! I’ve been writing about and working in the food industry for nearly 20 years now and wouldn’t change that for the whole world! #acfchefs #lovemyjob #cheflife #culinaryarts #nationalculinaryreview

Honored to receive the ACF Cutting Edge Award — the American Culinary Federation’s @acf_chefs recognition of chefs who are actively shaping the future of the culinary profession through leadership, innovation, mentorship, and community impact, chefs who, in the organization’s words, are truly “moving the needle.” A privilege to receive at the 2026 National Convention in Grand Rapids, made all the more meaningful in the year of American cuisine’s 250th anniversary, and an honor to accept from ACF National President Chef Rene J. Marquis. My heartfelt thanks to the ACF and NCCA @acf_dc_chefs , to my husband for his unwavering support, and to everyone who has walked this journey with me. #food #award #chef #AmericanCulinaryFederation #ACFCuttingEdgeAward
