*from the Slovak Chefs Association

An incredible, unexpected and cruel news hit the culinary world. On January 19, 2021, at the age of 80, the heart of Mr. Ondrej Antovszky, our friend, colleague, founding president, and honorary president of Slovak Chefs Association, stopped forever.
We were very painfully touched by the unexpected and sad news of his sudden death. We feel immensely sad that the harsh hand of death has forever torn him from our ranks.
It is really very difficult for us to find words to express our grief. A precious man has left, whom we all respected and who we all will miss very much. We highly appreciated his affection and kindness for years. His support strengthened our conviction that our efforts are important.
Mister Ondrej Antovszký dedicated his whole life to gastronomy. He loved his profession and carried it out with love and enthusiasm. Mr. Ondrej Antovszký is one signed under the admission of Slovak Chefs Association to the World Association of Chefs Societies – Worldchefs. During his professional life, he received many awards and honours. The most important of these were the Honorary Lifetime Member awarded by the World Association of Chefs Societies – Worldchefs in 2010 and the highest award of Slovak Chefs Association, Order of Saint Vavrinec, and Order of the President of SZKC, with which the Slovak Chefs Association praised his work in 2017. He was the holder of the prestigious award for his life’s work GURMAN AWARD GRAND PRIX of the Slovak Republic.
There are no words to express the sadness we feel. A rare man and an excellent expert left, from whom we still wanted to learn a lot. We will no longer be able to fulfill the common plans we had together. A cruel death interrupted everything. We will keep the memory of moments spent together forever. He left, but he will remain in our hearts and memories. We will consider him a part of us forever.
Farewell always hurts. Especially if we have to say the last goodbye to a man who has been with us for many years, not only as a colleague but also as a friend who has always been willing to help and advise.
With a feeling of sadness and deep respect,
REST IN PEACE
Vojto Artz and Zuzana Dúžeková
President of general Secretary of

Worldchefs President Thomas Gugler and the Board of Directors would like to take this opportunity to share a special memorial letter and recognize the centenary of Honorary Life Member, the Late Dr. H.C. Chef Gilberto Smith Duquesne, who was instrumental for the expansion of Worldchefs into Cuba and throughout Latin America. Well known for his passion towards global culinary friendship, the culinary profession and his Cuban heritage, the Late Dr. H.C. Chef Gilberto Smith Duquesne took great pride in showcasing Cuban lobsters and promoting traditional Cuban Cuisine all over the world.
As a tribute to the life of Dr. H.C. Chef Gilberto Smith Duquesne and in recognition of his birth on December 31, 1920, a 100 year commemorative postcard was created and presented by the Minister of Mincin, Vice Mayor of Communications, the President of Cuba Post and the Federation of Culinary Associations of the Republic of Cuba.
Memories of My Father, Dr. H.C. Chef Gilberto Smith Duquesne, Lifetime President of the Federation of Culinary Associations of the Republic of Cuba
By his son, Dr. Vladimir Alexander Smith-Mesa
First of all, I would like to take the opportunity to thank Worldchefs President Thomas Gugler for his support and for taking the time to be a key player in this 100 year celebration of my late father’s birth centenary. As you well know, my father had quite a history himself. He was Meyer Lansky’s personal chef in the 1950s before Cuban President Fidel Castro came to power and the late Mafia boss left Cuba for good. My father was Cuba’s answer to a celebrity chef: tagged ‘The Lobster King’ for his expertise with crustacea.
It was in Paris in the late 60s and for seven years, he studied at L’Académie Culinaire de France, becoming the first – AfroLatino descendent – member of this prestigious culinary organisation. Since then, his very personal dream was to create a Federation of Culinary Associations in Cuba.
As you know, in 2017 Chef Cornelia Volino, Worldchefs Secretary General visited Havana. On the occasion, Chef Volino recognised Cuba’s role in Worldchefs as the first Latin American country to join Worldchefs, over 40 years ago through the efforts of my late father, when he helped the Federation of Culinary Associations of the Republic of Cuba (FACRC) join your organisation.
On two separate occasions at the Olympics – IKA – Olympiade der Köche, my father won a Gold Medal. First in 1980, when in representation of his country, he attended alone the IKA. The second medal was won in 1984, when he went to IKA, leading a team of Cuban Chefs.
Since then, on October 18, we celebrate the Day of Cuban Cuisine. The date is celebrated as homage to that team of Cuban Chefs, the “Day of Cuban Cuisine” was launched on world markets at “Culinary 98”, an International event of the Federation of Culinary Associations of the Republic of Cuba (FACRC).
To view a list of my father’s international distinctions, awards, and honorary memberships, please visit the official Facebook account of Federación de Asociaciones Culinarias de la República de Cuba

Havana, Cuba Circa 1998: (L to R) FACRC Honorary Lifetime President and Worldchefs Honorary Life Member, the Late Dr. H.C. Chef Gilberto Smith Duquesne; Worldchefs Secretary General and Past Continental Director–Americas, Chef Cornelia Volino; FACRC Past President, the Late Chef Santana; current FACRC President and Worldchefs Honorary Life Member, Chef Eddy Fernández Monte.


Worldchefs President Thomas Gugler, Board of Directors, and Members join the VKÖ (Austrian Chef Association), friends, and family to mourn the passing of our esteemed colleague, Chef Karl Ruppert.
After a fulfilled life, former president Karl Ruppert has taken his seat at the table of the eternal feast. As a committed president and member of our professional association, he was an exemplary and valued representative of our profession and association, far beyond the borders of Austria. For his decades of meritorious association activity, he was awarded honorary membership of the Association of Austrian Chefs and the World Association of Chefs Societies.
Our condolences go to his family and friends.
