Keynote Speaker Announced!

Chef Grant Achatz has confirmed to deliver the keynote address at the 2019 ASDS Annual Meeting on Oct. 24, 2019 in Chicago.

Chef Grant Achatz is one of the most awarded and recognized chefs in the world. Known for his innovative, emotional, and modernist style of cuisine he has been named Best Chef in the United States by the James Beard Foundation, honored by Time Magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World, and has given talks and lectures on gastronomy and design at conferences and universities around the world.

In 2008 Grant was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer of the tongue. The recommended course of treatment was a complete amputation of his tongue followed by radiation and chemotherapy. He was told that he likely only had 2 years to live. Instead, he sought out an innovative protocol at the University of Chicago, which after a grueling course of treatment has left him with no evidence of disease since 2009. His story is documented in his New York Times best-selling memoir Life, On the Line. The story is also featured in the nationally released documentary movie Spinning Plates.
