Culinary Competitions:
Culinary competitions provide a setting for continuous improvement in culinary skills. They encourage networking and challenge the chef to achieve higher levels of competence.AND entering is fun.
Unfortunately there are some chefs who do not consider culinary competitions to have any merit. However they usually have unproven or untested reputations, or those not willing to take the risk and allow peer evaluation.
