American [[chef]]s have been influential both in the food industry and in popular culture. Some important 19th-century American chefs include [[Charles Ranhofer]] of [[Delmonico's Restaurant]] in [[New York City|New York]], and Bob Payton, who is credited with bringing American-style pizza to the UK.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/obituary-bob-payton-1413990.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090421080253/http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/obituary-bob-payton-1413990.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=April 21, 2009| title= Obituary: Bob Payton|work= The Independent|access-date= September 15, 2015}}</ref> Later, chefs Charles Scotto, Louis Pacquet, John Massironi were founded the American Culinary Federation in 1930, taking after similar organizations across Europe. In the 1940s, Chef James Beard hosted the first nationally televised cooking show ''I Love to Eat.'' His name is also carried by the foundation and prestigious cooking award recognizing excellence in the American cooking community.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Home {{!}} James Beard Foundation |url=https://www.jamesbeard.org/ |access-date=October 11, 2022 |website=jamesbeard.org |language=en |archive-date=October 10, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221010225034/https://www.jamesbeard.org/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=James Beard, Authority On Food, Dies |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1985/01/24/nyregion/james-beard-authority-on-food-dies.html |quote=James Beard, the bald and portly chef and cookbook writer who was one of the country's leading authorities on food and drink and its foremost champion of American cooking, died of cardiac arrest yesterday at the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center.

In 1946, the Culinary Institute of America was founded by Katharine Angel and Frances Roth. This would become the United States' most prestigious culinary school, where many of the most talented American chefs would study prior to successful careers.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Our Story: CIA History {{!}} Culinary Institute of America |url=https://www.ciachef.edu/our-story/ |access-date=October 11, 2022 |website=ciachef.edu |language=en |archive-date=May 25, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230525225645/https://www.ciachef.edu/our-story/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="FTfbs">{{cite news|last=Averbuch|first=Bonnie|title=Attention Food Entrepreneurs: School's Back in Business|publisher=[[Food Tank]]|url=https://foodtank.com/news/2015/09/attention-food-entrepreneurs-its-time-to-head-back-to-school/|date=September 2015|access-date=June 19, 2017|archive-date=December 10, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171210153635/https://foodtank.com/news/2015/09/attention-food-entrepreneurs-its-time-to-head-back-to-school|url-status=live}}</ref> The American Culinary community has grown due to both restaurants and media, through the work of many talented chefs.

Celebrity chefs have also helped to expand the culinary arts into popular culture, with chefs such as [[David Chang]] (Chef's Table), [[Alton Brown]] (Iron Chef America), [[Emeril Lagasse]] (Emeril Live), [[Cat Cora]] ([[Iron Chef America]]), Erik Davidson (Phat Erik's), [[Michael Symon]] (The Chew), [[Bobby Flay]] (Beat Bobby Flay), [[Ina Garten]] (Barefoot Contessa) and [[Guy Fieri]] ([[Diners, Drive-ins and Dives]]).<ref>{{Cite web |title=All Shows A-Z |url=https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/a-z |access-date=October 11, 2022 |website=Food Network |language=en |archive-date=October 11, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221011133345/https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/a-z |url-status=live }}</ref> Many of these celebrity chefs, such as [[David Chang]], [[Emeril Lagasse]] and [[Bobby Flay]] began their careers in restaurants before branching out into television. The shows have a wide variety of formats, including cooking competitions, such as Iron Chef, documentaries, such as Anthony Bourdain's ''[[Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown|Parts Unknown]]'', shows that take a look into restaurants, as [[Chef's Table]] does, and shows that teach cooking. The success of food television specifically in the United States has helped American Cuisine grow around the world.{{citation needed|date=December 2022}}
