Each year, the Restaurant Association of Maryland (RAM) presents annual awards for various “front of house” and “back of house” positions. This year, Chef Gregory Webb of Laperaux Bistro in Germantown is Montgomery County’s only finalist for the ‘Chef of the Year’ award.
The awards are for “those who relentlessly prove their skills and dedication to the industry while demonstrating top-notch leadership qualities.” After public nominations, RAM selects five (5) finalists from each category for a public vote. You select the winners. The awards are presented at RAM’s annual gala, which will take place on Sunday, April 14th from 6:00 – 10:00 PM at Maryland Live! Casino.
Chef Gregory Webb has earned such accolades and awards as “Chef of the Year 1998” in Houston, Texas, “Winner all Categories” at the Texas Open Wild Game Cookoff, “Top Chefs of Mexico City” and many other awards in the past. Last year he opened the French bistro in Germantown, offering “high casual cuisine” created by the chef.
