It’s official, we know who will be the Honorary President at the Americas Selection for the Bocuse d'Or 2024! 🤩 Chef Emeril Lagasse's passion for food was ignited as a young boy growing up in the small town of Fall River, Massachusetts, where he spent time in the kitchen with his mother, Hilda. As a teenager, he worked at a Portuguese bakery where he mastered the art of bread and pastry baking. Upon high school graduation, Lagasse turned down a full scholarship to the New England Conservatory of Music to pursue his dream of becoming a chef. 👨🍳 He earned a degree from the respected culinary fortress, Johnson and Wales University, and later received an honorary doctorate degree from the university. Wanting to broaden his culinary horizons, Lagasse then traveled to Paris and Lyon, France, where he honed his skills and learned the art of classic French cuisine. 🇫🇷 Returning to the United States, Lagasse practiced his art in fine restaurants in New York, Boston and Philadelphia until a job offer from Dick and Ella Brennan lured the young chef to New Orleans, where Lagasse helmed the kitchen for nearly eight years at their legendary restaurant, Commander’s Palace. Save the dates: June 12th and 13th, 2024!

⭐ Official Announcement ⭐ In June 2024, Bocuse d'Or candidates will have 4 hours and 55 minutes to produce 10 servings using products from Louisiana! 🍽️ The three main ingredients the chefs must include are shrimp, oysters, and lump crab meat! 🤩 Learn more: https://bit.ly/4aMWCRr
