ACF Chefs of Charlotte

Join us for our next ACF Chefs of Charlotte meet up!

On Monday, July 27 from 6–8pm, we’ll be gathering at Tifa Chocolate & Gelato for a Gelato & Chocolate Lab.

Come taste artisan gelato and chocolates, learn how Tifa creates custom flavors for real menus, and walk away with ideas to elevate desserts and increase check average.

This is a great chance to connect with fellow chefs, foodservice professionals, and anyone interested in growing with the Charlotte culinary community.

Pretty cool moment for our chapter.

ACF Chefs of Charlotte was featured in the ACF National Culinary Review, highlighting the work our members, partners, students, and culinary community have been building together.

This chapter has been gaining momentum through education, collaboration, mentorship, events, and showing up for one another. We’re proud to represent Charlotte and grateful for everyone who continues to be part of the chapter.

There’s a lot more ahead.
