Entries close soon for Chef of the Year
Chef of the Year is the most prestigious chef competition in Australia, and entries are closing soon. If you are a professional chef thinking about getting involved then make sure you jump online and fill out the nomination form by 28 September.
The competition is running from 23-25 October as part of the huge Foodservice Australia exhibition at Darling Harbour in Sydney. From an expected 180 entries the top 32 will be chosen to compete live in four kitchens built on the show floor.
Chefs will be given a mystery box of ingredients and one hour of cooking time. Their challenge is to prepare their two best dishes and impress the judges. Their scores will be based on taste, presentation, innovation, technique and efficiency.
2019 Chef of the Year Michael Cole took home the trophy, cash, Unox oven and the coveted title of Chef of the Year.
The top four chefs will compete on the last day of the show in a huge Grand Final. The winner will take home a trophy, cheque and Unox oven. There is $10,000 cash to be shared as well as great prizes. Every finalist takes home their jacket and some amazing memories.
