WCR 2018

WCR held its 25th Annual Conference April 21-23 2018 in Minneapolis, MN. Keynote speaker Carla Hall introduced the theme: “Women Speak: Curating The Culture of Food.”

Women Chef and Restaurateurs is an incredible resource for connecting women in all areas of the food and beverage business. By creating experiences that educate and inspire, WCR brings together women of the culinary arts building a strong network among industry peers. Many WCR members credit their career evolution to their WCR membership, including TV personality Elizabeth Falkner, and past WCR Secretary and Restaurateur Kathleen Blake, owner of The Rusty Spoon in Orlando, Florida. In establishing WCR, our founders gave women in the culinary industry a platform to join forces professionally, magnify their collective voice, and elevate the position and recognition of the women in this dynamic and diverse world of hospitality. Become a WCR member and enter a world of Chefs, Sommeliers, Restaurateurs, Manufacturers, Farmers and Industry Executives who unite to promote women in all areas of the culinary world.

Attendees included WCR Founders including Lidia Bastianich, as well as notable chefs Elizabeth Falkner, Amanda Cohen, and Gale Gand. Chef’s Roll was proud to be a media sponsor for the 3rd year in a row.
