“We bring culinary professionals together to learn, lead, and strengthen our local industry.”
– ACF Black Hills Chapter of Professional Chefs
Supporting Culinary Excellence
The ACF Black Hills Chapter brings together chefs, cooks, bakers, educators, and hospitality professionals who are committed to advancing the culinary field across the Black Hills region and the entire state of South Dakota.
Through professional development, chapter events, and peer connection, we help members strengthen their craft, expand their networks, and contribute to a vibrant local food community. The chapter exists to support the people who make the regional culinary community stronger every day.
We believe a strong chapter does more than host meetings. It creates momentum for learning, encourages leadership, and helps members build lasting professional relationships that benefit kitchens, businesses, and guests throughout the Black Hills.
Community Connection
The chapter builds strong relationships among chefs, students, and hospitality leaders through events, collaboration, and shared support.
