Almost reaching the podium and overtaking the host French team, Chef Tamás Széll and his team finished in the 4th place out of 24 countries at the 30th Bocuse d’Or chef competition in Lyon. Széll first took part in the competition in 2013, when he finished in the 10th place.
Szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu writes that the American team won the gold medal, the Norwegians became the second and Iceland won the bronze medal. The Hungarian team won the special prize for best meat plate and people’s choice award for best poster. The French won the prize for best commis and best vegetable plate. This was the first time that a non-European country won Bocuse d’Or.
The jury evaluated the plating, the flavours, the cleanness, the sustainability and hygiene of the kitchen and gave points according to these aspects. Tamás Széll said that it would’ve been great to finish in the 1-3 places, but considering his quick growth, he is satisfied.
“We made history with this 4th place” said Zoltán Hamvas, the president of the Hungarian Bocuse d’Or Academy.
At the Lyon world final 24 countries competed during two days. Tamás Széll prepared his vegan plate and meat plate on the first competition day, 24th of January.
