to Receive Top Honor

Original Article here | By Linda Domingo and Alli Tong

On May 4, in a private reception in Anaheim, Laguna Culinary Arts chef Maurice Brazier received the title of commandeur de L’Ordre du Merite Agricole (commander of the French Ministry of Agriculture) from the Consulate General of France in Los Angeles. The ranking is the highest possible decoration for a French citizen for services to agriculture; Maurice receives the award for his lifelong commitment to promoting French culture and cuisine worldwide. The chef received the first level of the award, chevalier, in 1979, and the second level, officier, in 1988. The top ranking of commandeur is has been held by only 400 people since the creation of the order by French Minister of Agriculture Jules Meline in 1883.

The elegeant reception included cocktails and appetizers, such as tuna tartare, catered by Anaheim White House, where Maurice serves as executive chef of catering. Afterward, a ceremony bestowing the top honor to Maurice was presented by Claude Girault, the elected representative of the French in the USA, and Axel Cruau, consul general of France in Los Angeles. Upon the heartfelt pinning of the commandeur de L’Ordre du Merite Agricole badge, a buffet dinner of prime rib, seafood paella, scalloped potatoes and lobster ravioli was served, also catered by the Anaheim White House.

“Maurice is a ‘chef’s chef,’ ” says Nancy Milby, founder of Laguna Culinary Arts. “[He] is well known by all the French chefs that are household names, such as Paul Bocuse, [and] Joel Robuchon.” Chef Maurice, who began his culinary career at just 14 years old, had also been appointed one of 100 seats of the Acadamie Culinaire de France and celebrated his 79th birthday in May.

Haute OC: A Moveable Feat

A MOVEABLE FEAT

Anaheim Whitehouse’s CNN Hero Bruno Serato Sparkles

at Official Press Launch of the Italian American Opera Festival May 10th

Original article here

If you ever have the opportunity to meet Executive Chef Bruno Serato of the Anaheim Whitehouse, you’ll be moved beyond his impeccable italian gourmet menu at first glance — the first serving you get is his contagious smile, next his compassionate heart, and for dessert an incredible hearty laugh with every meal as big as a bear hug. Truly a bonafide angel to over 500,000 plus hotel kids, Bruno’s wonderful meals are relished thoroughly by palette and by plate by his biggest fans.

This feast of love is donated daily to families in need and is Bruno’s rite of passage for Catarina’s Club a non-profit charity organization dedicated to supplementing monetary resources for families to escape the vicious cycle of subsequent shortages of making the first and last month rent on much-needed housing for homeless children and their parents who live day-by-day in motels. Bruno Serato was named one of the top 10 “CNN Hero Honorees” of 2011 (http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/cnn.heroes/archive11/bruno.serato.html)

What most may have thought was an impossible feat of providing meals during one of the most economically challenging times of our country, has become an evolution of hope — in fact, you may call it a “Moveable Feat.” This Orange County movement has inspired many to take greater stride in our communities to supplement those in need with a helping hand and in this case, a hearty plate of pasta with cheers of support. It is with great honor that we announce this Moveable Feat which has now traveled beyond the Orange County perimeter as cheers become music to our ears.

Last February Bruno Serato was invited to join IAOF on a national endeavor on an Italian network station to announce his inspirational movement as part of this year’s Italian American Opera Festival charity spotlight, a joint musical journey that sparkles hope for families in need.

On behalf of the Italian American Opera Festival, it is with great honor Hauteoc Inc announces CNN Hero Bruno Serato as this year’s Honorary Chair presented by the acclaimed Italian American Opera Festival, artistic director of the Tuscia Operafestival in Italy, Maestro Stefano Vignati.

Join us on a musical journey that begins with a Champagne toast on May 10th at the Anaheim Whitehouse from 5-7pm the night hosts a reception and pre-cocktail party.

The Italian American Opera Foundation (IAOF) was created with the aspiration to develop a cultural bridge between Italy and the United States.

VeronaSera 25 Marzo 2013

Da San Bonifacio a Los Angeles: lo chef veronese che aiuta i bambini tra gli eroi della Cnn

Bruno Serato, scaligero di origini e americano d'adozione, è stato ricevuto oggi dall'amministrazione provinciale, che ha espresso tutto il suo orgoglio per un così fulgido esempio di solidarietà italiana all'estero

VeronaSera | La Redazion 25 Marzo 2013 | original article here

Oggi in Sala Rossa al Palazzo Scaligero, l’assessore alle Attività produttive Fausto Sachetto ha ricevuto Bruno Serato, chef di San Bonifacio titolare di un ristorante a Los Angeles inserito dal network televisivo Cnn nell'elenco dei “Top 10 heroes”. Erano presenti: Antonio Pastorello, presidente del Consiglio provinciale; Giuliano Zigiotto, assessore provinciale di zona; Antonio Casu, sindaco di San Bonifacio; Valeria Geremia, presidente del Consiglio comunale di San Bonifacio.

LA STORIA - Bruno Serato, che ha molto lavorato per aiutare i bambini indigenti, è stato il primo italiano a entrare nella Cnn top 10 heroes, la classifica che ogni anno seleziona tra 40 mila persone quelle che più si impegnano per il cambiamento della società. L'assessore alle Attività produttive Sachetto ha espresso tutta la sua soddisfazione: “La Provincia di Verona è lieta di dare il benvenuto ad un personaggio del calibro di Bruno Serato, sambonifacese di origine. Con il suo lavoro tiene alto l'onore degli italiani all'estero non solo per le capacità professionali ma anche per le straordinarie doti di umanità. Ristoratore di grido e vero esempio di eccellenza italiana, Serato coniuga l'attività imprenditoriale di successo all'impegno sociale perché distribuisce quotidianamente un pasto a centinaia di ragazzi in difficoltà. E' tipico dello spirito italiano , mettere in campo gesti di solidarietà nei confronti di chi è meno fortunato”. L'assessore provinciale di zona Zigiotto sottolinea poi l'eccellenza della famiglia Serato: “La vena imprenditoriale e sociale di Bruno Serato affonda le sue radici nel Dna dell'intera famiglia, anche qui nel veronese infatti i suoi fratelli hanno costruito un'importante azienda contribuendo a consolidare il livello di occupazione locale. L'apporto dato, da famiglie di questo calibro, all'immagine dei veronesi nel mondo è di valore inestimabile”.

LE DICHIARAZIONI - Lo stesso chef Serato ha espresso tutta la sua soddisfazione per il riconoscimento: “Ho ripercorso la strada dei migranti italiani che in passato hanno cercato di fare fortuna in America. Ma la data che più ricordo con soddisfazione è quella del 18 aprile 2005 quando per la prima volta ho fornito pasti caldi ai ragazzi in difficoltà. Questa iniziativa mi ha cambiato la vita e la cosa che più mi rende orgoglioso è l'essere arrivato a sfamare ogni giorno oltre 300 ragazzi raggiungendo un totale di 500.000 pasti. Questo senso di solidarietà mi è stato tramandato da mia madre e prima ancora dai miei antenati che si sono sempre contraddistinti con opere a favore di chi aveva bisogno”. Il presidente Consiglio provinciale Pastorello plaude al senso di responsabilità dimostrato dallo chef: “La matrice solidale, insita in progetti di questo tipo, è molto viva in tutta la nostra provincia e quindi dico con orgoglio che fa parte del carattere dei veronesi. Sono molte le iniziative benefiche che cercano di portare un aiuto in zone del mondo disagiate. Ricordo, fra tutte, il progetto "Amici di Roberto", che seguo in prima persona, che si occupa dei bambini poveri di Santo Domingo. Il senso espresso da queste opere è molto importante perché si fondono cuore, intelligenza e capacità imprenditoriale”.
