Guatemala: Winning Hearts and Minds through Stomachs
Sponsored by the Department of State’s Bureau of International Information Programs, two prestigious chefs, who make up the American Chef Corps, were invited to the U.S. embassies in El Salvador and Honduras to participate in their first ever Culinary Diplomacy programs. FAS saw the visits as opportunities to promote U.S. agricultural products. Over 600 local culinary arts students and top chef instructors benefited from the American foods exhibition coordinated through FAS/El Salvador. While in Honduras, culinary creations for 100 food industry magnates, which incorporated U.S. pork, were paired with wines from the United States.
