Young Chefs Competition
The Young Chefs Competition was first organised by the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs in Switzerland in 1977 to support and promote future young chefs by giving them the opportunity to develop and demonstrate their skills. Competitions are held at regional, national and international levels in countries around the world. The competition is open to chefs no more than 27 years of age.
A candidate for competition at any level must be nominated by their employer, who must be a member of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, and accepted by the Competition Committee. Members of local bailliages who are proprietors, managers, chefs or instructors at Chaîne affiliated restaurants, hotels and culinary schools are asked to nominate candidates, who complete and submit application forms to a Regional Coordinator. Contestants are then selected from the group of applicants.
