Chefs honored at ACF awards gala
Culinary Crossroads was honored to attend the recent Presidents Gala of the Indianapolis chapter of the American Culinary Federation. The event, held at the Hotel Carmichael in Carmel, recognized the talent and dedication of numerous area chefs. We’d like to congratulate Indy ACF president Matt Jarson and Hotel Carmichael chef Jason Crouch on a wonderful event, and give a big shout out to the Team Indiana award winners
Congratulations to Cindy Hawkins, chef professional of the year; Brady Foster, chef of the year; and Jenni Babcock Schouppe, pastry chef of the year.
We’d also like to thank Paramount Schools of Excellence CEO Tommy Reddicks for presenting a check for nearly $4,000 to chef Jeff Bricker of Ivy Tech Community College for the Greg Hardesty Scholarship Fund. Through the Kelly Wensing Community Fund, the Culinary Crossroads Supper Club at Paramount has raised more than $12,000 for the scholarship, which honors the late chef Greg Hardesty.
