AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL YOUTH TEAM
ACF National has endorsed Mr. Patrick O Brien to manage, select and train Australia’s National Youth Culinary Team to compete in the 2016 Culinary Olympics to be held in Erfurt, Germany in October 2016. This competition is the premier event for young chefs run by the World Association of Chefs Societies (WACS) and will attract the top 24 Youth Culinary Teams from around the world.
The team has been selected from junior chefs throughout Western Australia and since August 2015 has been in an intensive training program leading to the event. The Australian Youth team has, under this same management team, competed in the 2008 & 2012 Olympics achieving Gold and Silver medals on both occasions, and being respectively placed 6th and 7th in the world.
The team will also compete in the FHA Food Asia competition to be held in April 2016, where it will participate in the live buffet competition which is now a component of the Olympic competition.
The Culinary Olympics “Internationale Kochkunst Ausstellung” (IKA) founded in 1896, is a time honoured global competition of culinary excellence. Held every four years and now based in Erfurt, Germany. The Culinary Olympics brings together the best chefs and culinary teams from around the world and serves as a world class venue to showcase contemporary culinary skills. The event will host 32 senior national teams, 24 youth national teams and regional teams, and individual competitors in a range of competitions. As the largest and most prestigious culinary competition in the world the IKA attracts considerable media and public attention.
