INDUSTRY'S + PERSPECTIVE

So how is the USA Rice Federation working with the World
Gourmet Summit this year? For one, it has sponsored two
awards that we feel is a big part of what the USA Rice Federation
is all about: the passing of a traditional skill and gift to the next
generation. We are proud to put our name on the Apprentice
Chef and the Chef Mentor of the Year 2022 awards, as we feel that
all the finalists named represent what the USA Rice Federation
wants to showcase: knowledge, skill, tradition, and creativity.
We’re glad to greet the recipients of these two awards: Chef
Ronald Chew, a student of Temasek Culinary Academy who
emerged victorious in the culinary challenge at At-Sunrice
GlobalChef Academy held in April this year; as well as Chef
Eric Neo, whose work as Executive Chef at InterContinental
Singapore and as President of the Singapore Chefs Association
has shown his leadership as well as his mentorship skills. We’re
hoping to find ways to work with them in the future, and inculcate
them into the work of what the USA Rice Federation believes in.
