Chef Exchange, Inc. was developed by Restaurant veterans to encourage exploration within the culinary industry.

The Chef Exchange Network is an association of premiere Restaurants and Chefs from top culinary locations around the world and top seasonal locations. By joining the Chef Exchange Network, a Sous Chef who finds himself out of work during off-season, an Executive Chef who is looking to brush up on the cuisines of another culture, or a Pastry Chef who wants to train under a master at a particular location will be able to access the network and find the perfect location to hone their skills. In addition, if you are a Restaurant owner that would like to feature an experienced Chef in a particular cuisine, bolster your kitchen during peak seasons, or temporarily replace a Chef who is on vacation (or traveling through Chef Exchange), you will be able to use the Chef Exchange Network to locate the perfect complement to your kitchen.
