Hi All,
I've been doing alot of research for my upcoming trip to the Epcot Food & Wine Festival this year. We will be there the first weekend this time and it appears there won't be a Party for the Senses during the first weekend, because of a special culinary competition. Read Below:
"NEW - Friday, September 26 - Saturday, September 27 - Bocuse d'Or USA Cuisine Competition
The Bocuse d'Or USA will host a pre-qualifying cooking competition to select a single team of Chef and Commis to represent the United States at the International Bocuse d'Or, held biennially in Lyon, France. Based on the strength of their written applications, eight semi-finalist teams will be selected to compete at the Bocuse d'Or USA Cuisine Competition in Orlando, Florida, on Friday, September 26th and Saturday, September 27th, 2008. The competition will launch the annual Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. The Bocuse d'Or USA Cuisine Competition will be held in an arena‐like setting at Epcot Center's World Showplace. All Epcot Center ticket holders are welcome to attend the competition as spectators. A panel of renowned chefs drawn from the Bocuse d'Or USA's Culinary Advisory Board, including Daniel Boulud, Thomas Keller, Jerome Bocuse, Alain Sailhac, Andre Soltner, and Jean-Georges Vongerichten, will serve as judges and officials. Judges will evaluate each competing team's preparation of one fish dish and one meat dish. The teams will be judged for excellence in technique, flavor, sophistication, harmony of ingredients, originality and presentation. ......."
I've seen the Bocuse d'Or competition on the Food network before, while interesting, I would much rather go to PFTS. Anyone heard any different?
