American Culinary Federation to Honor Chef Moghaddam

The American Culinary Federation has selected Chef Bobby Moghaddam as the recipient of the Lawrence A. Conti, CEC, AAC, HOF, Chair’s Achievement Award. Moghaddam will be recognized at the Federation’s national convention in Orlando later this month. Moghaddam serves as Riverside City College’s executive director for its Hospitality and Culinary Arts program and has been a member of the American Academy of Chefs for nearly 25 years. For the last five years he's been a member of its Honor Society. The award is given to an Academy Fellow who is dedicated to the advancement of the American Culinary Federation (ACF) and the American Academy of Chefs (AAC) — and has achieved success in both business and culinary arts. The Honor Society of ACF and AAC represents the highest standards of professionalism in the organization, society and industry. The Academy’s mission is to promote the education of culinarians by mentoring, awarding scholarships, and providing grants to professional working chefs looking to further their careers “I am humbled at being given any award by the AAC as I feel quite privileged just to be a member of this elite group of chefs,” Moghaddam said. “The AAC gives out only six awards annually and to be nominated, much less a recipient of the Lawrence Conti award, is amazing. It is good to know that the lifetime of work and knowledge I have put into my career is appreciated. To compare this to other awards I have received would be comparing apples and oranges as each has its own criteria and reflects different qualifications drawing from my lifetime’s work.”
