Le Club des Chefs des Chefs (C.C.C.), founded by Gilles Bragard in 1977, is an international culinary organisation of chefs to world leaders.[1] The main purposes of this official gathering are to promote the national kitchen, and act as diplomatic representatives. The chefs are in contact every day with their own heads of state or government and formed a unique international network. Annually, the president brings together the chefs of heads of state to meet and discuss their work. The name of the organization is a play on words because in French, "chef" can mean either "kitchen chef" or "boss". In English, the name can be translated as "the Club of Chefs to Heads of State."[2]
History
In 2013, the Club participated in UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's Zero Hunger Challenge.[3] Chef Garcia, head chef of the Prince of Monaco was elected in 2012 to become president.
Annual meetings
The members annually gather on invitation of a member, and are received by the head of state.
