The 11th annual IACC Copper Skillet competition first introduced in 2004, held it’s European finals recently. Eight chefs from IACC member properties throughout Europe including UK, France, Sweden and Denmark gathered to compete at the Comwell Køge Strand, Copenhagen. For the first time in the history of the Copper Skillet competition, IACC also introduced a new Junior Chef category where IACC conference centre chefs under the age of 26 were invited to compete in the cook-off. The two winners now go forward to compete in the final at the IACC annual conference in Ft Lauderdale, Florida next month.
The competition saw 84 chefs in country finals, 12 in the IACC Chapter finals and the final 6 going forward to the last stage.
