Mission Statement (adopted June 5, 1999)
The Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, Bailliage des Etats-Unis, unites professional and amateur gastronomes in a private, not-for-profit society committed to promoting the culinary arts and those of enology and hospitality through example, education, and camaraderie.

Based on the great traditions and high standards of the medieval French guild of rôtisseurs or "meat roasters," our confrérie celebrates the pleasures of the table, encourages the development of young professionals by awarding scholarships and sponsoring competitions, and, as part of an international organization, fosters friendships among members around the world.
