“I am so honored to know Jacque and be a part of his 90th birthday celebration,” said Chef Burke, whose friendship began with Pépin while Chef Burke was executive chef at the River Café in 1988. “I can’t believe he’s almost 90 and still going at it! Jacques is a living legend, I’m a big fan. He’s a great educator, a really good teacher and genuinely a beautiful man. This is my way of thanking him for everything he’s done for the industry and for chefs around the world. To be able to celebrate Jacque’s birthday and to support his Foundation through my talents, our restaurants and our company is truly an honor! Please come and help me celebrate Jacques at this exquisite event!”
Considered the greatest culinary educator of our time, Jacques has dedicated the majority of his career to teaching technique by authoring over 30 cookbooks and hosting 13 public television series. An iconic chef, author, teacher, television personality, and artist, his legendary impact has touched lives and kitchens across decades and generations.
