Rising Stars Press Kit

The StarChefs Rising Stars Revue™ showcases up-and-coming chefs who have been chosen by StarChefs as Rising Stars. All of the Rising Stars participating in the Revue are featured on StarChefs.com. They were recommended for selection by the StarChefs Advisory Board, which is made up of over 20 of the country’s most influential chefs. Final choices were made by StarChefs’ editorial team. Ultimately, creativity, ambition, exquisite presentation and, most importantly, delicious food won each chef the designation of StarChefs Rising Star.

The overarching theme of this year's Congress is What is American Cuisine? The purpose is to explore how chefs and industry-leaders from around the country—and across the globe—define American Cuisine. Chefs, and subjects of study and exploration recognize the regional nuances of well-defined and established cuisines, such as Italian, French, Spanish, or Chinese. But the definition of American Cuisine—outside of hotdogs and hamburgers—and the regional differences within the United States is not commonly understood, inside or outside of the US.
