Mahoney Wins 2010 Chef of the Year


Chefs from around West Virginia gathered at the Cafe Cimino in Sutton, WV for the annual American Culinary Federation of West Virginia awards ceremony recently. The group honored the recent state win by the Pierpont Culinary Academy team.

However, the awards for Pierpont did not stop there. Chef Jay R. Mahoney, CEC was honored as the 2010 WV Chef of the Year. This is highest distinction awarded through the state organization. Chef Mahoney was recognized by his peers for his outstanding contributions to the organization, to education, and to the community.

In addition to Chef Mahoney, Pierpont student and Culinary Team member Joseph White was honored as the 2010 Student Culinarian of the Year. Joseph has won multiple medals through ACF competitions, and served as the team captain of the 2010 Pierpont Culinary team that won a bronze medal at the ACF North East Regional competition in Hershey, PA last spring.
