By launching our chapter of the American Culinary Federation (Cape and Islands Chefs Association), we hope to address the key challenges of the food service industry. The Cape and Islands Chefs Association was, for many years, one of the strongest associations in New England. We are excited to invite you to join us in restoring its prestige. We believe that chefs in all types of establishments—from country clubs to healthcare facilities to family-owned restaurants—have the potential to spur meaningful collective action.
