STARCHEFS RISING STARS AWARDS PROGRAM

The StarChefs Rising Stars Awards celebrates up-and-coming industry professionals who represent the vanguard of the contemporary American dining scene. The selected professionals are recognized not only for their exceptional food and drink, but also their ability to navigate, lead, and inspire.

Rising Stars have strong, compelling philosophies, are able to see beyond the four walls of their restaurant, and are committed to fostering a community by sharing their knowledge with fellow professionals across the country.

Launched in 2003, the Rising Stars network now includes more than 1,500 alumni from the Florida Keys to Seattle. Explore our full list of Rising Stars alumni here.
