[Untitled][edit]

This page has info on his activity getting the profession of chef changed from domestic to service. That seems interesting/important? But the source seems a bit iffy? http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=19475265 Here's the relevant passage: "Forceful Advocate for the Profession of "Chef" It was at the 1974 American Culinary Federation convention in Cleveland, Ohio, when keynote speaker Chef Louis Szathmary declared that European governments honored their Executive Chefs, but that in America, chefs were officially listed in the same category as "domestics, dog walkers, chamber maids and butlers." He called on the convention to change this official view and gave the first $500 to hire a professional lobbyist to achieve this goal. In January 1977, at the final Washington, D.C. meeting which included Department of Labor and American Culinary Federation officials, the listing of Executive Chef was advanced in the Dictionary of Official Titles from the "Services" category to the "Professional, Technical, and Managerial Occupations" category. America's Executive Chefs were officially recognized as professionals!" Anyway, do with that what you will. If someone finds some more info to back that up.
