I thank each and every one of our members who attended our last educational seminar, meeting and dinner hosted by Chef Aidan Murphy at Old Warson Country Club.It is nice to sit back, gain different perspectives, learn new things, open ones mind, gather and greet, meet and dine in such a tremendous setting!
Thank you to those who made the event possible, including Casey Shiller, Charles Rossi, Madonna Bogacki, Aidan Murphy, Dan Holtgrave, Lute Cain, ACF Youth Team USA and our great and always supportive associate members who donated product for the incredible dinner.
Congratulations to Julia Krelo on being announced as Junior Chef of the Year!Julia has been active as the junior president and has kept the juniors headed in the right direction.There was a great turnout at the last meeting and the juniors have mailed their ballots for next year.It is nice to see a youthful approach to this business and activity on that level.
This year’s Chef of the Year dinner at The Coronado Ballroom on Sunday, November 11, honoring this year’s Chef of the Year Ted Hirschi and Junior Chef of the Year Julia Krelo, promises to be a great event.This is a great chance for associates to show their support and active members to share in this celebration.Take advantage of one last night out before the busy holiday season.Bernard Pilon is putting the finishing touches on the details and is working diligently to put together a program for everyone to enjoy.
I would like to welcome back to town and to Algonquin Country Club Chef Brian Bernstein.Brian returns to town from Aspen, Colorado and has left a hole in this culinary community since his departure. He takes the helm from our previous vice-president Craig Meyer, who moved to Houston and the Royal Oaks Country Club. Also, earlier in the year, we said our goodbyes to Erik Wright, sous chef at Algonquin Country Club when he made a move to Quincy, Illinois as an executive chef.Erik had been an active part of this chapter during his tenure, and we appreciated his involvement and cuisine on many occasions.We wish Erik well in his new (perhaps not so new any longer) employment.
This month, we say goodbye and congratulations to Don Grace of Westwood Country Club as he ventures out on his own, stepping out from under Chef John after many great years together to become executive chef of the Lincoln Country Club in Lincoln, Nebraska.Don has done a great job assisting Susie Judy in putting together our programs and continuing education as well as cooking on several occasions.Don and his family will be missed; we wish you great success in your new venture!
As I spoke to students the other day about becoming members in this organization, it reminded me of just how important this chapter and this organization has been in my professional career development.These four chefs, who have recently made moves, are all great examples of how this organization has assisted in their development along the way.I can safely say on their behalf that each of them became better as a result of their involvement over time.Nothing happens overnight when it concerns a career and development.Nothing takes the place of hard work!
The wheels of progress continue to turn within our chapter…
The ballots for officers are in the mail. We experienced some communication difficulties and are sending out corrected copies (at NO charge to us). Please consider the candidates and most importantly VOTE!The new officers for the next term will be announced at the November meeting and sworn in at the January meeting.I assure you, no matter the outcome, we have many great things in store for the membership in the coming year.
We need to continue to approach our chapter as a business.There was a full agenda at the president’s meeting at the national convention in Orlando over the summer.Among the changes that were voted on to positively impact the federation were new and revised membership categories and a dues increase.There hasn’t been a dues increase on the national level in eight years and I think you might agree that costs for many businesses have escalated significantly over time, especially in the past few years.
I still feel like membership in this particular organization is a value and the board will continue to work hard and dedicate their efforts towards keeping membership a consistent value to you.In fact, even with the increase, we are absorbing the majority of the increase for our members.Bernard or I can answer any questions you may have regarding the new changes for the New Year.
I look forward to many new challenges in front of me next year and continuing my involvement with this chapter in the years to come.Have a great holiday season, count your blessings, and have a blessed Christmas and prosperous New Year.I look forward to seeing all of you at the Holiday Survivor Party hosted by Tony Haacke at Racquet Club St. Louis in January.Cheers to all of you!
Ted Hirschi, CEC, CCE, FMP grew up and currently lives in Kirkwood with his wife, Chris and their bulldog, Hoover. He has been a St Louis Chefs de Cuisine member since 1995 and is currently serving as chapter secretary and ECC Junior Chapter sponsor. As with many of us, he started in the dish room of a small restaurant during high school summer breaks. In the 70’s he met Andre Gotti and then worked for him at Old Warson Country Club. Chef Andre mentored Ted and advised him to enroll at the Culinary Institute of America. During these studies he met his wife, Chris.
Ted continued his career at Chez Louis Restaurant in Clayton where, as one of two English- speaking cooks, he learned the French cooks’ methods of modern food preparation. Later he grew into kitchen management when he went to work for Marriott Host at the St Louis Airport. He soon worked up to Restaurant Manager and then became one of their Regional and Corporate Chefs. During his time as a Regional Chef, he decided to return to school and continue studying towards a Bachelor of Science in Management and Finance, graduating in 1993 and earning his MBA in 1997.
He quickly observed that a good chef and manager is, among other things, a teacher. Ted enjoyed most those times when teaching made a difference in the operation’s performance. After teaching part time at St Louis Community College at Forest Park in their Culinary Arts Program, he took a position at East Central College in Union in 1993 as Hospitality Program Coordinator. Focusing on Culinary Arts as the single program emphasis, he worked with several chefs in the area to plan and build a unique quality-based educational format at the college. In December 2000 the program moved into a new building with instructional kitchen, dining room and classrooms. In 2004 the program earned ACF Program Accreditation. The program has continued to grow.
In September 2005 Ted and nine of his students responded to the Hurricane Katrina disaster by working at the Lake Charles, Louisiana Civic Center, a disaster relief center for over 4000 displaced New Orleans residents. There they prepared meals under the direction of local chefs until Hurricane Rita pushed them out. Ted also helps new and aspiring culinarians to learn about today’s cooking by opening his kitchen to local Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops, middle school and high school foods classes, 4-H clubs and home school groups. He feels a commercial kitchen can be intimidating, but takes this chance to make it fun and exciting while teaching kids some of the basic forms of food preparation and safety.
“It’s an awesome responsibility to be the first professional culinary encounter for new students. In an industry that has and will continue to experience a great shortage of qualified professionals at the entry level, I understand the need to get it right the first time in guiding and educating them to be productive professional cooks. From the start, I have used the ACF and the St Louis Chefs de Cuisine as a guidepost in helping me learn and meet those goals.”
At the October Chefs de Cuisine dinner meeting, held at Old Warson Country Club, President Chris Desens announced that Julia Krelo was selected as the 2008 Junior Chef of the Year.
Julia, currently the Junior chapter President, was selected Junior Chef of the Year by the board of governors because of her substantial contributions to Chefs de Cuisine. She
devoted considerable time throughout her presidency on numerous events and fund raisers, including Mardi Gras activities, the annual golf tournament, Chefs Wine Country BBQ, and other events. She demonstrated leadership and pitched in at the right times, leading by example. Her involvement and commitment to excellence on many levels made her the clear choice for junior chef of the year.
A flight attendant for Ozark, TWA, and American Airlines for 26 years, she started culinary school at SLCC, Forest Park in June of 2003, after being furloughed during the down-sizing of AA following 9/11. Awarded the Award of Excellence in the culinary program at Forest Park in 2004, she graduated in December 2005 with honors. In 2004 she started working at Trader Joe's as well as opened her own catering business, which she continues to run to this day.
Junior Officer Election Results Announced
Chef Chris Desens announced the results of the election of Junior Chapter Officers. For 2008. Mark Williams was elected Junior Chapter President, Sheeri Sullivan was elected Vice-President, and Brittany Voss was elected Secretary. The new officers will be sworn in at the January 2008 meeting, and serve for the calendar year. Nominees (in alphabetical order) for each position were:

Dear Chris, I wanted to let you know how proud I am in regards to our chapter’s culinary youth team, first in the Chesterfield Journal and again in a great article in the Post.

Off with my toque blanc to all of these great chefs and future chefs.Again congratulations, and win one for the seniors in Germany and Dubai.
Sincerely, Johannes "Jan" G. Verdonkschot C.E.C, A.A.C., H.O.F.

Executive Chef
Greenbriar Hills Country Club
Facilities: Founded in 1928, Greenbriar Hills Country Club is considered to be one of the top golf and country clubs in the St. Louis metropolitan area. The Club is member-owned and supported by 371 golfing members and their families, with a total membership roster of 491 families. The "typical" member is approximately 50 years of age, frequently uses the Club's facilities and resides within ten miles of the Club. Thanks to its consistent high quality, the food and beverage operation is the centerpiece of this very active club.
The club amenities include eighteen holes of championship golf, a swimming pool complex with a snack shop, and tennis facilities. The annual operating budget is in excess of $5,500,000, with over $1,900,000 from food and beverage sales. The Clubhouse is approximately 30,000 square feet and operates successfully with several a la carte dining rooms: the Trophy Room, a casual dining room which features the Club's main bar and has a seating capacity of 60; the Osage Room, another casual dining area which seats 80; and the Candlelight Room, which offers a formal dining experience and seats 40. The Club also features two outdoor dining areas: the Garden Terrace (casual), which seats 70, and the Patio (summer casual), which seats 80. Greenbriar also features several banquet rooms, including the Main Dining Room, which can accommodate 280 people. Food service to the entire clubhouse is provided from a central kitchen; however, the "Snack Shop" servicing the swimming pool and tennis facilities during the summer months is located in a separate building.
Responsibilities: The Executive Chef will be accountable for all food production, menu development, food purchasing, cost controls, recipes, sanitation standards, and maintaining the highest level of membership satisfaction. The successful candidate must posses a high degree of food knowledge and a passion for creative and innovative plate presentation in a la carte and banquet food preparation. Beyond directing daily food production with attention to details, the chosen candidate must be able to communicate effectively with the membership and staff. Three to five years' prior private club experience is a plus, but work history will be considered.
Compensation: A competitive salary will be afforded the professional possessing the required skills and character. The package may also include an objective pay-for-performance incentive, medical and dental benefits, life insurance, an optional 401k plan with employer match contribution, education allowance, uniforms, and vacation.
Candidate screening and interviews will be conducted in the near future.
