There are four nights of Semi-finals, consisting of three competitors each night. Competitors must utilize a set number of ingredients from a Mystery Basket. They have 25 minutes to prepare and plate an entrée, and ticket holders get a ‘taste’ portion of every meal prepared, paired with wines from Gosling’s Ltd.!
One winning competitor will be selected each night by a panel of judges to compete in the Final round. You get to vote for Audience Favourite!
There will be four competitors in the Final Round, one of which will win the title of ‘Bermuda’s Rising Chef of the Year’.
As part of the competition selection process, each chef was asked to provide our judges with a video explaining why he/she became (or is becoming) a chef.
Watch the video each chef submitted….
