Master Chef Competition

presented by BC Chefs Association

The tenth annual  Master Chef Competition (Iron Chef style) will return again this year at the Fraser Valley Food Show.  Come and watch 17 chefs from British Columbia as they compete for the title of Master Chef in a head-to-head heated competition.

Black box cooking competitions are considered the most challenging of culinary competitions because the food content of the boxes is not revealed prior to the event. The pressure of competing is compounded by the unknown ingredients. The chef has to accept the challenge of devising a main course from the Black Box by using only the foods the box contains. Once open, it's up to the chef's creative talents to come up with an innovative idea and prepare it in the 35 minute time allotted.

Competitors will be judged by culinary professionals, on composition, creativity, correct preparations, service practicality, taste, proper utilization of ingredients, presentation and consistency. Distinguished members of the BC Chefs Association will act as the official judges during the two days of competitions: this year's judges are Chef Sylvain Cuerrier, River Rock Casino, Chef Edgar Rahal, President, BC Chefs Association, Chef Paul Ho, Treasurer, BC Chefs Association,  Chef Donald Gyurkovits, National President, CCFCC and head judge: Chef Boban Kovachevich, Corporate Chef Executive Hotels.
