On behalf of all of the Bailliages and Chaîne members in the USA, we heartily congratulate Chef Reimund Pitz, Conseiller Culinaire et des Professionnels, on his upcoming induction into the American Culinary Federation’s “American Academy of Chefs Culinary Hall of Fame”™.

Throughout his distinguished career, Reimund has excelled in the kitchen, in his local community and in his worldwide community of culinary professionals.

We are particularly grateful for Reimund's tireless efforts leading the Chaîne's outreach to young chefs. His innovative approach to mentoring and supporting young chefs bodes well for the future and we are excited to be on that journey with him.

Reimund is a Member of the Conseil Magistral (since June 2017), the only American professional chef to be awarded a “red ribbon”. And in 2018, French President Emmanuel Macron approved Reimund for the prestigious Ordre du Mérite Agricole.

Established in 1929, the American Culinary Federation (ACF) is the premier professional chefs’ organization in North America with more than 14,000 members in over 170 chapters nationwide. The founding of its American Academy of Chefs Culinary Hall of Fame™ was inspired in 1988 by then Academy Chair Jon Greenwalt at the ACF National Convention in Las Vegas.
