The CIA Awards Paul Bocuse Chef of the Century

On March 30, 2011, Paul Bocuse was honored at the fifth annual Culinary Institute of America’s “Augie” Awards at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in NY. Tim Ryan, President of the CIA was quoted saying “Paul Bocuse was the culinary equivalent of Elvis Presley—a source of great inspiration, the object of our adoration, and the model for our emulation,” in presenting Paul Bocuse, 85, with the award. “Just as musicians around the world from the Beatles to Bruce Springsteen aspired to be like Elvis, legions of young chefs dreamed of being Paul Bocuse.” In addition, Daniel Boulud was awarded Chef of the Year and the Alumni of the Year Award went to Jerome Bocuse and Michael Chiarello!
