The benefits are second to none.  What made me join was the Chef Alliance’s willingness to help when I needed it.  When I called other organizations they wanted to charge money for even talking and giving advice.  Keep up the good work.

The new seal of approval program looks great.  I would love to be a part of that.  I think it will really advertise The Chef Alliance and market our chefs.

"[T]heses job's you give us chefs are great & you get to meet many interesting ppl.

I joined of a couple of personaI chef organisations when I started my business.  I wasn’t sure which one to give up.  You insured me AND gave me jobs.  I paid for insurance and membership in the first 5 weeks with you guys!  Couldn’t believe it!  It definitely made the choice a no-brainer!!

I shopped around for weeks and couldn’t find anything close to the [insurance] rate offered by the Chef Alliance.  I saved over $750.00!  Thanks!
