The Escoffier Society of Houston is a vibrant community where culinary tradition meets modern innovation. Inspired by the legacy of the legendary Chef Auguste Escoffier, we are chefs, food lovers, creatives, and hospitality professionals united by a shared respect for excellence, artistry, and fellowship in the kitchen.

Often referred to as “the King of Chefs and the Chef of Kings,” Auguste Escoffier revolutionized the culinary world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He introduced the brigade system to professional kitchens, elevated French cuisine to an art form, and authored the seminal guide Le Guide Culinaire, which remains a foundational text for chefs across the globe. His belief in discipline, refinement, and respect for ingredients continues to shape modern gastronomy.

The Escoffier Society carries forward this spirit by honoring time-tested techniques, nurturing talent, and celebrating the evolving landscape of food and hospitality. Through intimate dinners, dynamic collaborations, educational experiences, and exclusive member events, we connect passionate individuals who believe that great food isn’t just made—it’s lived, shared, and remembered.
