Gary Arthur, the first senior executive chef at Texas A&M, is ranked among the best.
Arthur, who came to A&M last year, is featured in a newly-released book, Chefs to Know, and is also ranked as one of the top 500 chefs in the nation. Joining him on the list are chefs such as Emeril Lagasse, Anthony Bourdain and Stephan Pyle.
"The beauty of this listing is that it is not a competition at all. And none of us consider ourselves better than anyone else," Arthur said. "In the words of the editor of the book, 'It is a collection of those that are talented, innovative, passionate and driven who contribute greatly to their culinary community.'"
Arthur took over at A&M when the Food Services Department was in the middle of a complete revamping.
"I was recruited in by the current executive director once he realized the huge scope of options that need to be implemented," Arthur said.
