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.
