Bocuse d’Or The Bocuse d’Or was created in 1987 by the legendary chef Paul Bocuse, who conceived the competition as an expression of the rigor, skills, excellence and creativity of the trade in the spirit of a sporting, festive, young and modern event. More than a gastronomic competition, it is a universal system of exchange and recognition. Technique and creation, commitment and human values are brought to the fore to reveal the great talents of tomorrow’s Haute Cuisine. It is a universal language, understood in the 5 continents, which materializes through achievements and dishes, as sensitive as spectacular, in the effervescence of an audience of followers. Since 2005, the world’s most renowned gastronomy competition has introduced pre-selection rounds with national rounds and then continental qualifying rounds, including the Bocuse d’Or Europe, the Bocuse d’Or Americas, the Bocuse d’Or Asia-Pacific and the Bocuse d’Or Africa. The continental competitions are major events in their own right and serve to determine the 24 countries that will remain to participate in the Bocuse d’Or Grand Final. It initially brings together participants from 67 countries spread over the 5 continents, after 18 months of intense preparations, in front of final consumers, amateurs, journalists, and chefs and professionals worldwide. The Bocuse d’Or is held every two years in the city of Lyon, France, where the best Chefs from all over the world participate.
