We’re even more thrilled to announce that this year’s dinner will be held — for the very first time — inside the Embassy of France in Washington, DC! Chef Mark Courseille wowed us at the trial dinner with his outstanding, creative cuisine and camera-worthy plate presentation. Truly one of the best meals we’ve had in recent memory. Mark is from Bordeaux originally, but moved to the U.S. in 2005 at just 21 years old. A trained pastry chef, Mark spent seven years honing his cooking skills under renowned chef Michel Richard at Citronelle before moving to the Embassy in 2017.
