Le Cordon Bleu (LCB) is proud to announce Chef Kirk T. Bachmann,
LCB vice president of academic affairs, was chosen as a 2010
recipient of the Antonin Carême medal. Presented by the Chefs
Association of the Pacific Coast (CAPC), Bachmann is one of only
three 2010 recipients.
"I am truly honored and humbled by this recognition," said Chef
Bachmann. "I'm proud to accept this award and join the ranks of
such distinguished chefs. I hope to continue to positively affect
the industry and lives of our students."
The Antonin Carême medal, founded by the CAPC in 1969, honors
chefs who have made extraordinary contributions to the culinary
profession, to education, to the advancement of gastronomy and to
the culinary arts. The medal is named after Chef Antonin Carême,
who had a reputation as the 'Chef of Kings' and the 'King of Chefs'
due to his love for the craft and his demonstration of compassion
and humane qualities.
"Chef Bachmann is extremely deserving of this award, and we are
all very proud of his accomplishments," said Chef Edward Leonard,
CMC, vice president and corporate chef at LCB. "His
continued commitment to the craft and education of young chefs has
helped shape Le Cordon Bleu into a premier provider of culinary
education."
Chef Bachmann, a fourth generation chef, received his culinary
training at the Western Culinary Institute, now Le Cordon Bleu
College of Culinary Arts in Portland, and went on to open his own
restaurant. He earned restaurant of the year awards in 1990 and was
recognized on Citation's "Who's Who Among Rising Young Americans"
in 1992. After many years of honing his skills in the kitchen,
Chef Bachman returned to his alma mater as a chef instructor and
played an instrumental role in the implementation of the Le Cordon
Bleu Culinary Program. In his present role, he ensures the
integrity and standards of the Le Cordon Bleu academic program for
all 17 Le Cordon Bleu schools in North America.
Chef Bachmann received his medal at an awards dinner Nov. 6 in
Los Altos, Calif. He was accompanied by Chef Ferdinand Metz, CMC a
previous recipient of the Antonin Carême medal and executive dean
and chairman of the LCB National Advisory Board. Chef Leonard was
also bestowed the honor of the medal previously.
