the top award for professional chefs, is presented every two years in
Lyon at a grand finale. This final is an extraordinary culinary experience.
Having been selected during a highly regulated but nonetheless dubious
nomination process, the finalists are given the task of preparing two meals
in twelve portions in five-and-a-half hours. The cooking takes place in front
of an audience in cubicles measuring 18 square metres that have been set
up in a sports arena. The chefs are asked to use certain basic ingredients
and must prepare everything from scratch. The participants compete under
extremely tough conditions. The dishes should reflect both contemporary trends in cooking and contain
some element that is characteristic for the finalist's native country. And,
since the final takes place in France, where cooking and the savouring of
gastronomic delights are of particular importance, the cooks from other
countries have an especially hard time of it. For this reason, the 2007 final is
a real nail-biter. SCREENED/AWARDED AT: Cinema Writers Circle Awards, Spain, Goya Awards, ...The Chicken, the Fish and the King Crab (2008) ( El Pollo, el pez y el cangrejo real )
