Well we are only 8 days away from the 2009 Chicago Culinary Museum and Chefs Hall of Fame induction event. This year we are honoring Chef Carrie Nahabedian of NAHA and Fred Turner of McDonalds as our Industry Leadership award winner.
This years event will be a great night out at the Union League Club of Chicago with Chef Host Michael Garbin CEC, AAC. For ticket information please check out: www.thechicagoculinarymuseum.org and click on the "2009 induction" tab.

Hello All,

Chef Jill Russell asked me to share this with all of you.....

The Vilcek Foundation shall award a $25,000 prize to a young, foreign-born professional
in the culinary arts who has made notable contributions to the field at an early stage in his/her
career. In addition, four finalists will each be awarded $5,000. Chefs, artisans, and innovators are eligible to apply.

Applicants must be foreign-born and be 38 years old or younger. Only naturalized U.S. citizens or
green card holders are eligible to apply.

The Vilcek Foundation honors the contributions of foreign-born scientists and artists living and
working in the United States. The Foundation’s Creative Promise awards program, inaugurated
in 2009, expands on that mission by focusing attention on the extraordinary drive, talent, and
ingenuity new generations of immigrants bring to our culture, arts, and sciences.

Applications and more information are available from the Vilcek Foundation website, www.vilcek.org
