OUR MISSION - To Improve the Quality of Life Through the Power of Food

To Sustain

The Classics of our craft are constantly under pressures from both outside and inside to change and remain relevant to the industry they serve. The members of AMCO want this to happen with measured wisdom.

Promote

The Master Chef and AMCO brand is coveted within the highest levels of our industry’s channels. We offer one on one candidate assessments, group workshops, and seminars.

Perfect Our Craft

American Master Chefs serve as leaders, advocates, and mentors within our craft. We keep the bar of craft execution higher than industry norms or general expectations might otherwise settle for within our craft.

To Create and Nurture a World Class Branded Organization
Over the years, of the several hundred Chefs who have qualified to take the exam, to-date, only approximately seventy candidates have succeeded! We are a very proud, small and unique fraternity with great concern for the future of our beloved craft.

 

The American Master Chefs' exam is, considered by professional peers the world around, one of the most arduous. 

 

The exam was first commissioned and offered in 1981.

OUR FEATURED SPONSOR

 

MC Russell Scott oversees all operations at the Middleby Innovation Kitchens (MIK). The MIK is 40,000 square feet with 200 pieces of the newest and most innovative equipment all under one roof. 

Think of the MIK as your own private restaurant show- you can try equipment before you purchase plus there is a rep there to answer your questions. 

It’s a one-stop shop for hands-on learning about electrification of kitchens, ventless technologies, automation (robotics), beverage systems, and much more.

With over 100 brands of food & beverage equipment all under one roof, there is nothing quite like Middleby. 

Middleby, thank you for your continuous and generous support.

You can schedule a visit on their website.
