ARAMARK’S TOP CHEFS COMPETED IN INAUGURAL CULINARY EXCELLENCE COMPETITION

Over 100 chefs competed and on November 20, 2019,  15 of Aramark’s top chefs battled it out in our global headquarters in Philadelphia, PA competing in the first-ever Aramark Culinary Excellence (ACE) Competition Finals on the road to winning the Copper Pot trophy. Check out the highlights of a great day of competition!

Our talented chefs were given the chance to showcase the culinary and menu development they provide each and every day to campuses, students and staff. 

We would like to congratulate our Sports & Entertainment colleagues for winning this year’s Copper Pot, but we have already warned them to get ready to step it up for next year’s battle in the kitchen as our Higher Education Chefs are already planning for redemption.
