Seventeen years ago, a promise was made to Chef Paul Bocuse – to uplift the next generation of culinary talent through mentorship, opportunity, and the pursuit of excellence. That promise, led by Chefs Daniel Boulud, Thomas Keller, and Jérôme Bocuse, continues to guide us today. At Ment’or, we are proud to carry forward their legacy by investing in young professionals who are passionate about their craft and driven to grow.
From the kitchens where our grantees hone their skills, to the global stage of the Bocuse d’Or where Team USA competes with courage and precision, we have witnessed the power of mentorship and community in shaping remarkable careers. It is not just about competition or accolades. It is about character, dedication, and the lifelong relationships formed through shared purpose.
As we mark another year of Ment’or, we extend our heartfelt thanks to all of you who make this journey possible. Together, we are building great restaurants – and building the future of our profession.
