Jacques Torres

Celebrity speaker Jacques Torres, also known as Mr. Chocolate, is a master pastry chef.  Growing up in a young fishing village in the South of France, Torres began his culinary career at the age of 15 with an apprenticeship at a small pastry shop. The young Torres was a natural, completing the apprenticeship in two years and graduating at the top of his class. Following the completion of his apprenticeship, he began working with Michelin Star winning chef Jacques Maximum at the famed Hotel Negresco.  As if working at the prestigious hotel and alongside one of the best chefs in France wasn’t enough, Torres also attended culinary school to earn his Master Pastry Chef degree.  The rising pastry chef then continued his work around France, teaching courses at a culinary school in Cannes, and later becoming the youngest person to ever win the Meilleur Ouvrier Patissier de France competition, before eventually taking his craft across the Atlantic and to the United States.  Upon his arrival in the States, Torres became the Corporate Pastry Chef for the esteemed Ritz Carlton Hotel, and then moved on to work at one of New York’s most upscale French restaurants Le Cirque. He served as the Executive Pastry Chef at Le Cirque for 11 years and during these years, he also returned to his teaching roots and joined the faculty of the International Culinary Center. While on the staff, he designed the program’s Classic Pastry Arts Curriculum, and as a result became the school’s Dean of Pastry Arts. However, 2000 marked the year that Chef Torres officially became known as Mr. Chocolate, as he left Le Cirque in pursuit of bigger and better endeavors.  Feeling he had now garnered the experience, Jacques fulfilled a dream of his, and opened his own chocolate factory and retail shop in Brooklyn. The chocolate shop took off, and the chocolatier then proceeded to open six more Jacques Torres shops, including two more chocolate factories and one ice cream shop.

Celebrity Chef Jacques Torres has been the recipient of numerous accolades. Mr. Chocolate has won the James Beard Foundation Pastry Chef of the Year, the Chefs of America Pastry Chef of the Year and the Chartreuse Pastry Chef of the Year. In addition to his awards, he is the author of two Dessert Circus books and the host of his own Food Network TV show Chocolate with Jacques Torres. He has also participated in charity events. In May 2010, Torres with the help of fellow culinary talents Jacques Pepin, Alain Sailhac, and André Soltner, he prepared a $30,000-per-couple dinner for the U.S. President Barack Obama’s fund-raiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. As of 2014, Jacques can also be seen alongside Buddy Valastro as one of the judges of TLC’s the Next Great Baker. Outside of the kitchen, chocolatier Torres, coincidentally, married chocolatier Hasty Khoei, who owns a chocolate shop, called Madame Chocolat, in Beverly Hills.

Jeffrey Saad

Jeffrey Saad is the host of United Tastes of America on the Cooking Channel. While most people don’t consider flipping burgers to be their dream job, when Jeffrey did it for the first time at the age of thirteen, he knew he had found his true calling—in his own words, “I flipped my first burger and in that moment,  I knew that food was going to be my life.”

Celebrity Chef Speaker Jeffrey Saad got his culinary education at Iowa State, the Culinary Institute of America, and the California Culinary Academy before embarking on his own. He started his first restaurant in California called Sweet Heat, and the combination of healthy and fresh Mexican fare was a huge success. The rest is history for Jeffrey, who went on to open two more restaurants and become partner of the widely popular chain Pasta Pomodoro Italian Restaurants. In 2009, the celebrity chef competed on The Next Food Network Star, finishing as the season five runner up to Melissa d’Arabian but still impressing judge Bobby Flay; he was later featured on Grill It! with Bobby Flay. More importantly, Jeffrey caught the attention of audiences and foodies everywhere, which led to appearances on The Rachael Ray Show, ABC World News Now, Iron Chef America, and eventually his Cooking Channel show United Tastes of America. Putting new twists on old American trademarks and favorites like the burger, meatballs, and, Jeffrey’s personal favorite, pizza, has added to his popularity.

Jeffrey also enjoys using fresh foods and seasoning his dishes exotic spices; at one point he hosted Spice Smugglers, an online web series on Food Network, and owns his own collection of spice blends. In 2012, his first cookbook, called Jeffrey Saad’s Global Kitchen: Recipes Without Borders, was published. That same year he competed in Chopped All-Stars, finishing second to celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson, no small feat for any chef. Jeffrey currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife and children.

Ludo Lefebvre

Ludo Lefebvre grew up in France, but the renowned chef has done his part to make a name for himself in the United States. The media and press can’t seem to stop talking about him—the Los Angeles Times, Vanity Fair, and GQ, among others, have ranted and raved about his international flavor, hundreds of spices, and superb restaurants. Celebrity Speaker Ludo was nominated for the Rising Star Award from the James Beard Foundation in 2001, and since then the French chef has put himself up there with the best of the best—he is the only Los Angeles Chef to have received two Mobil Travel Guide Five Star Award for not one but two of his restaurants.

After getting his start as the executive chef of restaurants L’Orangerie and Bastide, which flourished under his spatula, Ludo catapulted himself onto the food scene with his revolutionary concept of Ludobites, a pop-up restaurant that travels to different venues in order to serve dinner, staying at each location for only a few weeks. The affordable yet satiating eating experience has not only been so popular that six weeks of reservations will fill up in less than a minute, but it also earned Ludo the title of “the king of pop-ups” from Bon Appetit. Ludo went on to open his first permanent restaurant Trois Mec with partners Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo, and LudoBird, a fried chicken spot in the Staples Center. Ludo’s success and presence on the frontier of a new type of dining experience has everyone ranting and raving and led to the opening of a new restaurant Petit Trois in 2014.

Ludo has authored two cookbooks, Crave: The Feast of the Five Senses in 2005 and LudoBites: Recipes and Stories from the Pop-Up Restaurants of Ludo Lefebvre, part success story part cookbook, in 2012. From challenging Mario Batali on Iron Chef America and guest judging on Hell’s Kitchen, Ludo is no stranger to television, appearing on NPR, No Reservations, CNN Money, and The Today Show, among others. He is also a judge with Nigella Lawson, Anthony Bourdain, and Marcus Samuelsson on the Emmy-nominated show The Taste. The father of two resides with his family in California.
