What are FSD Chefs Immersion?
Produced by FoodService Director, the Chefs Immersion are an exclusive community where culinary innovation meets meaningful connection. Chefs Immersion events create an environment where noncommercial foodservice industry leaders don't just exchange business cards—they exchange ideas that transform menus, operations, and careers.
What happens at the Chefs Immersion?
This invite-only event curates a group of 15 of the top noncommercial chefs to connect, collaborate and create at university campuses across the country.
Connect. The whole program is designed to give chefs the opportunity to connect with each other during immersive networking events, fueling conversations that continue way beyond the end of the event.
Collaborate. Team up to develop new culinary innovations at this culinary “think tank,” with a pantry stocked with some of the best ingredients available to noncommercial foodservice.
Create. Work alongside your peers in the kitchen to create new menu items that can be implemented in your foodservice program in the future.
