About the Guest

Branden J. Lewis, EdD, CEC

Chef & Associate Professor, Cooking Asia Adviser
Johnson & Wales University | College of Food, Innovation & Technology

Doctor/Chef Branden Lewis believes sustainability topics should be incorporated into culinary education since chefs can have a tremendous influence on the food system through sourcing ingredients, cultivating relationships, and advocating for sustainable practices. Branden has led a team of faculty to develop the school’s Sustainable Food Systems Bachelors program and Culinary Sustainability minor. In 2008, he was named one of Edible Rhody Magazine’s “Food Heroes” for his work serving immigrant and refugee communities. In 2013, he was showcased in the Rhode Island episode of Bizarre Foods America with Andrew Zimmern which focused on local sustainably caught seafood. As a faculty member at Johnson & Wales, he has been selected for numerous awards and recognition, including the Distinguished Scholarship Award, Outstanding Service Award, Advisor of the Year, and Robert M. Nograd Teacher of the Year. Branden’s interest in sustainable food systems continues to drive his research into Culinary Sustainability Education where he publishes peer reviewed works.
