“I live
and love this challenging industry, and to celebrate
with Starchefs is an honor that does not come around
so often. You see our industry through a pair of glasses
that see the truth - gut level dedication and commitment
to the growth and constant evolution of our craft.
You can’t teach passion, but you sure can inspire
it. You have done that for my small group of dedicated
troops, and for that I thank you.”
--Chef Jeff O’Neill, Mar-a-Lago Club, 2008 South
Florida Rising Stars Host Chef

“The
entire experience was wonderful not only for me, but
my team as well. They learned a lot and left feeling
inspired to work creatively and tastefully to one
day become a StarChef themselves – I was really
happy to be able to bring many of them to the South
Florida Rising Stars and broaden their horizons.”
--Chef Ryan Artim, The Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach, 2008

“I think
the Rising Star Revue is the best tasting event I
have ever been to. Many tasting events can be kind
of a mob scene and StarChefs pulls them off with a
high level of class and great attention to detail.”
--Gretchen Twill, Devi Tea, 2006 Washington
DC Rising Stars Sponsor
