Chefs Collaborative is a United States-based nonprofit network that mobilizes chefs and food professionals to advance sustainable sourcing, cooking, and serving practices within the broader food system. Founded in 1993 by renowned chefs including John Ash, Rick Bayless, Susan Feniger, Nobu Matsuhisa, Nora Pouillon, Michel Romano, and Alice Waters, the organization operates as a national entity with a membership base and an extensive network. It is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit supported by members and connected to more than 40,000 influencers, friends and followers. Its mission is to inspire, educate, and celebrate chefs and food professionals who are building a better food system. Its value to participants comes from opportunities to connect with like-minded peers across the country to influence sourcing, cooking, and serving practices. The organization envisions sustainable practices becoming second nature for every chef in the United States, reflecting its focus on long-term systemic change rather than isolated initiatives.
