Africa’s top hotel and hospitality industry trade show, the Hotel & Hospitality Show, will launch an exciting new Game of Chefs challenge this year, where local chefs will compete for prize money and a place in the WorldChef Battlefield Champion of the Masters in Kuala Lumpur.
In an action-packed three-day showdown, the Game of Chefs will see eight teams of four chefs each having to produce a three-course menu for 15 guests from a mystery basket – all in under two and a half hours.
Competition Director and Austrian-born Chef extraordinaire Martin Kobald of ChefMLK School of Cooking says the competition is a new platform for South African chefs to compete at international level. Fellow Competition Director, culinary judge and renowned Chef Jeff Schueremans says the Game of Chefs is the ultimate challenge for local chefs, and will be judged in line with WorldChef judging criteria, by a panel of local and international judges.
To enter the competition, the minimum qualification for the team leader must be a sous-chef, with the remainder of the team comprising a qualified pastry chef and two commis chefs. Watch the video.

The event will also feature highlights including the one-day Hospitality Leadership Forum, and the hotly-contested Southern African Housekeepers League of Champions competition, in which hotel housekeeping teams will race against the clock to prepare rooms to the highest standards in only seven minutes.
