Chaine Thailand Holds the First Young Chefs Rôtisseurs Competition

Chaine des Rôtisseurs Young Chef Competition 2018, Thailand

For many years the Young Chefs Rôtisseurs contest has been organized in most of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs member countries around the world, as well in our neighboring chapters. This year Chaine Thailland was happy to announce the 1st Young Chefs Rôtisseurs Contest held at the Dusit Thani Excellent Center.

Thailand is becoming more and more a leading destination in gastronomy by offering a variety of international cuisine, Chaine Thailand takes this opportunity to promote the new and young talented chefs to come and show their skills and talents by preparing fine dishes, and also to give them the opportunity to travel to other countries to expand their experience by bringing along a flavour of Thailand and its art of food to the world.

The winner of this contest received not only cash prize but would also enjoy an opportunity to compete in the International Young Chef Rôtisseurs Competition event this year which will be held in Taipei in September 2018.

The organization of Thailand’s 1st Young Chefs Rôtisseurs Competition was led by Chaîne Bailli Délégué Arto Artinian together with Conseiller Gastronomique Alessandro Haab, with the support of Dr. Sarote Pomprapha of Dusit Thani College Excellent Center Bangkok.
