Bristol Chef v Chef 2008

The conception and formulation of this annual competition is to promote modern cuisine exploring the use of local seasonal produce, allowing young chefs to feature classical and innovative kitchen skills in their search for culinary excellence.

The City of Bristol and surrounding areas have a magnitude of fine restaurants and dining experiences to explore from traditional to themed, with innovative and eclectic cultures. Offering excellence to local, national and international visitors is significant in maintaining a high profile.

The importance in providing quality training locally is enhanced by City of Bristol College culinary skills programmes, where many students have embarked on their careers in the hospitality industry, often being the protégés for the next generation.

We are eager to promote and continue training for the skills that are required for the chefs of the 21st century and would like to give them the opportunity to develop their careers through the Chef v Chef Competition.

The competition has two age categories:

Under 23 years of age on 19 February 2008

Over 23 years of age on 19 February 2008
