MISSION: Chefs Collaborative is a national nonprofit network with a mission to inspire, educate, and celebrate chefs and food professionals building a better food system. VISION: Sustainable practices will be second nature for every chef in the United States. Chefs Collaborative was founded in 1993 by visionary chefs including John Ash, Rick Bayless, Susan Feniger, Nobu Matsuhisa, Nora Pouillon, Michel Romano, and Alice Waters. They acknowledged their leadership in the celebration of the pleasures of food, and they recognized the impact of food choices on our collective personal health, on the vitality of cultures and on the integrity of the global environment. Today, Chefs Collaborative is a membership-supported national 501c3 nonprofit comprised of chefs, food professionals and a network of more than 40,000 influencers, friends and followers. Our network continues to drive the market for sustainable food by changing menus, changing lives, and demonstrating the many merits of doing so for all eaters.
