FOR some people, food is not just an important part of life, but is at the center of their lives. Take, for example, the members of Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, an international gastronomic society founded in Paris in 1950 devoted to promoting fine dining and preserving camaraderie and pleasures of the table.
They do much to promote the pleasures of dining, as well as challenge chefs around the world to their best.
The same is true of the members of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs in the Philippines. Aside from celebrating the glories of food, they have used it as an opportune occasion to touch base with their business partners.

In fact, the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Bailliage de Cebu hosted recently a gala dinner at the five-star hotel in the Queen City of the South Marco Polo Plaza Cebu as a way of strengthening the partnership among Cebu’s business leaders.
