Chef John Folse was honored with the Honorary American Master Chef Award, the second chef to receive this distinction.
About the Honorary American Master Chef Award:
The award was created as a way of recognizing Chefs who have established themselves in our profession through their distinct culinary contributions. The individuals receiving the honorary degree have a sustained reputation over a lifetime career. The recipients have also established themselves through their professional, philanthropic, or charitable contributions. These individuals, having not gone through the Certified Master Chef process have proven themselves worthy of the designation. It’s also a way of aligning the American Master Chefs’ Order with inspiring achievements that reflect its ideals, helping to motivate and uplift the entire culinary community.
