Ment’or Culinary Council Chef Gerard Craft, and 15 other local chefs are creating an experiential, walk-around event featuring unique chef-prepared dishes, created specifically for this occasion. Come join Chefs Justin Carlisle, Joe Flamm, Matt Accarrino, Johnny Leach & Helen Jo, Ancy Ticer & Michael Hudman, Amy Mills, Craig Rivard, Loryn Nalic, Aaron Martinez & Michael Gallina, David Sandusky, Matt Daughaday, Ben Poremba, Jesse Mendoza & Mike Risk, Joshua Lanning and Suji Shaw for this amazing evening in support of Team USA.

“Ment’or has been transformative in changing the way American chefs are perceived on the global stage. Supporting Team USA as they compete in Lyon isn’t just about winning a competition—it’s about fostering mentorship and giving young chefs the opportunity to train with the best. The dedication and passion these chefs bring is inspiring, and I’m proud to be part of an organization that invests in their future.”
