\n

For the visitors of the 2020 IKA\/Culinary Olympics in Stuttgart, sitting at the Chef\u2019s Table is likely to become the highlight of the event: the guests will sit at tables of ten directly at the cooking booths, in which the national culinary teams from all over the world will prepare their culinary delights \u2013 and a chat with the chefs will of course be included. Never before have the visitors of this culinary contest been able to get so close to the teams.\u00a0 At the 2020 IKA\/Culinary Olympics, the German Association will set new standards regarding international cooking competitions: for the very first time no cold show platters will be exhibited by the national teams.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

This announcement was made by the VKD as the organizer of the event on Tuesday, 6th February, during Intergastra in Stuttgart. \u201cWith this decision, an era has come to an end,\u201d explains Hans-Peter Tuschla, Vice President of the VKD, and as such, responsible for the scope of culinary competitions. Since the very first edition of the IKA\/Culinary Olympics in 1900, the exhibition of cold platters has always been one of the major attractions of the event. Starting in 2020, the exhibition of cold platters will now be replaced by a Chef\u2019s Table.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

\u201cOur decision was made mainly for two reasons\u201d, explains Mr Tuschla: \u201cThe waste of food is an important issue. This is something we want to actively reduce\u201d, he underlines. The other reason was to increase transparency during the preparatory phase of the competition. \u201cThe entire cooking process for the Chef\u2019s Table takes place in the cooking boxes under supervision of the jury and the inquisitive glances of the guests \u2013 which is quite unlike the cold platters which the teams used to bring to the competition already plated\u201d, explains Mr Tuschla.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

This decision was also welcomed by the Culinary Committee of the World Association of Chefs’ Societies (WACS), which is in charge of the regulations and the training of the jury for all of the competitions. According to Gert Kl\u00f6tzke, chairman of the Culinary Committee, the worry that an element of \u201ctrue culinary art\u201d will be lost, is unfounded. At the 2016 IKA\/Culinary Olympics in Erfurt, the junior national teams exhibited an \u201cEdible Buffet\u201d instead of a cold platter. \u201cThis shows\u201d, he claims, \u201cthat the teams have proven that great culinary art may also be presented in form of hot dishes\u201d.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

Approximately 50 representatives of national culinary teams from 18 nations travelled to Stuttgart to familiarise themselves with the new regulations and to check out the on-site conditions. \u201cThe fact that the team representatives travel so far to find out about the latest requirements, shows their great interest in the IKA\/Culinary Olympics\u201d, explains VKD President Andreas Becker. The modernisations of the competition were met with a consistently positive response.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

Visitors of the IKA\/Culinary Olympics, which will take place from 14th to 19th February 2020, in conjunction with the Intergastra, will have various options to taste the creations of the national culinary teams: at the Restaurant of Nations, the menus of both the junior and senior culinary teams will be available. The national culinary teams will prepare the Chef\u2019s Table, while the juniors will compete for the medals in the category \u201cEdible Buffet\u201d. In addition, the community catering teams will prepare high-quality meals.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

Both the categories \u201cShow Piece\u201d, in which individual exhibitors will show their skills, and the category \u201cLive Vegetable Carving\u201d will remain unchanged. And just like in past editions of the contest, there will also be regional culinary teams participating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

The German Chefs\u2019 Association will provide further information with regard to advance ticket sale dates for the 2020 IKA\/Culinary Olympics. The regulations for individual exhibitors will be available for download soon at\u00a0www.culinary-olympics.com\u00a0<\/a>.<\/p>\n
