Philadelphia Chef Karen Docimo Named Personal Chef of the Year
Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) July 26, 2014 -- Chef Karen Docimo has been a member of the United States Personal Chef Association since she started Karen’s Chef Du Jour Personal Chef Service in 2000 and been a Certified Personal Chef since 2003. In addition to her Personal Chef Service, Chef Karen spent 9 years as Treasurer of the USPCA’s Greater Philadelphia chapter and co-chaired the Philadelphia Chef Conference in 2007.
Criteria for the Chef of the Year award include business structure, development, community outreach, and service quality. “I am truly honored for receiving Personal Chef of the Year 2014,” Chef Karen Docimo stated. “I hope to continue to inspire others to give of their talents for those who cannot do for themselves, mentor my colleagues and serve our association.” The award was voted on by members of the USPCA and a panel of judges chosen by the USPCA.
The 2014 USPCA national conference in Long Beach drew over 100 professional personal chefs from around the world. Chef Docimo has taught classes at previous conferences and was in attendance this year. “We are so proud of Karen’s accomplishments,” said USPCA President Larry Lynch. “Karen’s impact on her chapter, her community, and the association as a whole make her the perfect example of a Personal Chef of the Year.”
Chef Karen expressed her thanks to the Philadelphia Chapter for their nomination and the USPCA general membership for their votes. “I think Howard Schultz said it best,” Karen stated, “’Success is best when it's shared.’” More information about Karen Docimo’s Personal Chef Service can be found on her website http://www.karencooks.com.
Personal chefs prepare custom delicious, nutritious meals daily for a wide range of clients in all 50 states and throughout Canada. Personal chefs own and operate their own independent business and service a wide variety of clients each month. The direct tangible benefits to each client will be the time saved in the actual meal preparation and the associated shopping, while still enjoying exactly what they’ve requested at a cost no greater than a comparable restaurant.
