Congratulations to ACF members Richard Rosendale, CMC®, and his commis, Corey Siegel, CC®, for winning the Bocuse d’Or USA competition, Jan. 29, at The Culinary Institute of America, Hyde Park, N.Y. Four finalists had five and a half hours to prepare two protein platters—one featuring River & Glen Hookers cod and one using D’Artagnan chicken—and three intricate garnishes. Rosendale wowed judges with his dishes taking home gold. Jeffrey Lizotte placed second receiving a silver medal and ACF member William Bradley took third and a bronze medal.

Rosendale will now spend the next year training with some of the nation’s most respected chefs for the biennial international competition that was created by Paul Bocuse in 1987. No American has ever placed better than sixth. On Jan. 29–30, 2013, he will compete against some of the world’s best chefs at the Bocuse d’Or World Cuisine Contest in Lyon, France. More

Check back soon for an “In the Kitchen With” feature with more details about Rosendale’s experience at the USA finals. Follow Rosendale on Twitter, @RosendaleCMC, for regular updates as he trains for France.
