Young Food Chef Who Have Made Their Mark

Once upon a time there was a lot of distinction in classes based on the hierarchy of status in the society. The elite class pretty much looked down upon any thing and one less than their status and cooks were one of them. A ‘Food Chef’ was just a cook and no matter how talented he was or the fact that not everyone can be a good cook. This was not appreciated nor encouraged at one time. But as time has gone by a lot has changed. Today the status of a Cook has changed to a ‘Food Chef’, Head Chef, Celebrity Chef, gourmet chef and they are one of the highest earning groups with immense talent. Like Rachel Ray at $18 million, Wolfgang Puck at $16 million, Gordon Ramsay at $7.5 million, Nobuyuki Matsuhisa at $5 million and Alian Ducasse at $5 million dollars. All of the above are celebrity Food Chefs and along with hosting programs on the television they also own multiple number of restaurants which a known for its food standards and quality around the world. One of my favorites is Gordon Ramsey because he has a very intimidating persona. And why should he not, he is one of the most popular celebrity chefs who has been awarded 16 Michelin Stars in 2001 and become one of the only three chefs in the United Kingdom to hold three Michelin Stars at one time. He makes Hell’s Kitchen a real Hell for the competing chefs.There are a lot of Young Food Chef’s who have made their mark in this industry of culinary art. To list a few who have made it big are Sam Kass, who is 29 and an assistant food chef and food initiative coordinator, at the White House in Washington D.C. Trasha Gary who is 39 is an owner of ‘Crave Gourmet Bakery & Catered Café in Houston, Texas, which is a full scale catering and event planning company. Shannon Galusha, who is 34 and is an Executive chef at Bastille Café & Bar in Seattle, Washington, Added to being a Food chef he has incorporated a seasonal produce in a 2,500 square feet roof top garden which is tended by ‘Seattle Urban Farm Company’ to grow all kind of vegetables and herbs for the Bastille Café & Bar kitchen. Preparing a meal is an art. Culinary art is now taken to such levels that a lot of care, effort, time and creativity are use in a perfect meal. A Food chef is the artist who decides what works best and how to combine different cultures and put them in your plate. Being a Food chef is more than a pan on the stove, it is passion.
