On October 4, the International Jeunes Chefs Rôtisseurs Competition will be held in Budapest, a world competition for young chefs where 20 international chefs under the age of 27 will compete. Patrik Nyikos will represent Hungary at the prestigious event, Turizmus.com reports.
The annual event, organized by the world organization Chaine des Rotisseurs, is unique in that the contestants do not prepare a carefully rehearsed menu, but create their own menu using the contents of a “surprise basket” (black box) of ingredients from the host country, that is only presented at the start of the competition.
In four hours, they must prepare a three course menu in four portions.
The 12-member international jury is made up of a selection of renowned experts in the field. In the kitchen, a panel of three judges monitors and analyses the skill of the competitors, the technology used, hygiene, economy of materials, and orderliness of the work. The nine-member tasting jury evaluates the visual appearance, the flavors, and the use of the prescribed ingredients. This year, Hungarian Áron Barka, Hotel Continental Chef de Cuisine, will be among the kitchen judges, and Zoltán Hamvas, President of the Hungarian Bocuse d’Or Academy, will take part as a tasting judge.
The Hungarian competitor Patrik Nyikos, despite his young age, boasts some very good results.
In October 2021, he came first in the Hungarian Bocuse d’Or final with Bence Dalnoki as his commes. In March 2022, he came in second in the European Bocuse d’Or final, and in January 2023, he and Bence Dalnoki came in third in the Bocuse d’Or Lyon final.
