“We created the Archipelago Young Chef Challenge to discover and cultivate the talented chefs within our hotels who can capture the soul of the dishes and not just follow the recipes. As someone who worked in the kitchen for many years, I believe that it is the heart of a hotel and our guests benefit from it through great food experiences and wonderful memories. Thus, I want to provide many opportunities for our talented chefs to showcase their creativity and skills.”
I would like to congratulate all the winners and finalists and thank all the young chefs who participated in the challenge. I am already looking forward to the creative dishes you will come up with in the next challenge,” says John Flood, President & CEO, Archipelago International.
