On Tuesday, January 29, Morocco, Hungary, the United States, Argentina, Norway, Chile, Iceland, Brazil, Canada, Italy, the United Kingdom and Denmark will step into the ring to defend their country's colours.
While on day two, Wednesday, 30 January, it will be the turn of Finland, France, Singapore, China, Belgium, Thailand, Tunisia, Japan, Switzerland, Sweden, Australia and South Korea to face off in the heat of the kitchen.
The pre-selection rounds have determined the qualified teams in Bocuse d’Or Europe, Bocuse d’Or Asia Pacific and Bocuse d’Or Americas, and Bocuse d'Or Africa.
Now the teams will already be hard at work, perfecting their platters and honing their timings and organisation in what will be a carefully adjudicated moment under bright lights and the deafening cheers of their supporters.
