So a double whammy, I didn’t just get my @chaine_kzn BLAZON back (Which I will proudly place up at my school. An award that celebrates a high level of cuisine, service and hospitality by the Chaine International.) But, I also got recognized for being apart of the chaine for ten years, a new award-first of its kind in South Africa , COMMANDEUR, what a month it has been for my school getting recognized, let the sun keep shining. Thank you to the @chainedesrotisseurs_hq and all the board, committee and members for your continuous support. Means the world to us.
