Haute Cuisine and fine dining, as we know them today, trace their origins to the work of Auguste Escoffier, The Chef of Kings and The King of Chefs. To preserve and nurture these twin traditions, Les Amis d'Escoffier Society of New York, Inc. and Les Amis d'Escoffier Society Foundation, Inc. - a non - profit organization - steadfastly pursue these major goals:

To enhance the art of fine dining by supporting culinary education through scholarships to student chefs.

To support students pursuing a career in the hospitality industry.
