ABOUT US
OUR STORY
Inspired by the talented students of the Genesis Center, the dishes at CHOP honor traditional techniques while embracing contemporary innovation. Our culinary team, assisted by aspiring chefs from our Chef Training Program, serves up memorable meals that draw from a world of experience and creativity.
MISSION & VISION
At CHOP, the diversity of our students is a cornerstone of our menu. Our dishes reflect the techniques, recipes, and cultures our students bring from around the world. This blend of global and local influences adds unique flavors and perspectives to our offerings, making each meal a true representation of our community.
For over 40 years, the Genesis Center has helped tens of thousands improve their English, gain employment, and achieve economic independence. Culinary Arts was the Genesis Center’s first job training program, and for three decades, it has been nourishing culinary dreams and transforming aspiring chefs into industry professionals.
