European Grand Prix 2023: Global Chefs Challenge – European Regional Semi-Finals
The European Grand Prix 2023: Global Chef Challenge – European Regional Semi-Finals will be held in Rimini, Italy, 19-22, February 2023 during the Beer&Food Attraction.
INTRODUCTION – THE ROAD TO SINGAPORE
For the 2024 Global Chef Challenge Final, 40 teams will compete in Singapore across 4 categories: The Global Chefs Challenge, Global Pastry Chefs Challenge, Global Vegan Chefs Challenge, and Global Young Chefs Challenge.
The host country for the Worldchefs Congress and Global Chefs Challenge Final always receives a “wild card” position for their team in each of the 4 categories, qualifying without having to necessarily place in any partner or semi-final competition.
The remaining teams to join the competition ranks must first advance through national qualifying rounds before moving on to Regional Semi-Finals. These 7 regional winners then advance to the world stage to compete for top honours alongside the prequalifying Culinary World Cup contenders at the Global Chef Challenge Finals.
For the final in 2024, there will be 2 Global Chef Senior Competitors selected per region, then 1 for Vegan, 1 for Pastry and 1 for the Young Chefs categories.
