Ryan, you and your team became Olympic champions in the Community Catering Teams category. How did you feel when you went home from the IKA 2024?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It was special and it felt great to\u202ftake home the title Olympic Champion. We are very proud of our performance and were happy to celebrate the title. \u202f\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You took home the victory from the IKA – and the golden toque statues from RAK. Where are they now?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Everyone of the team was able to take something home. The big trophy that we got for the <\/span>Military<\/span> first place is in a display in our military base in Thun. \u202f\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What did taking part in the IKA mean to you?\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It was an honor to represent the Swiss Army with the Swiss Armed Forces Culinary Team in an international competition. \u202f <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Community Catering competition was revised and updated for the IKA 2024. What is your feedback? What would you like to see at the IKA 2028?\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We think it is nice to take a current topic and we look forward to a challenge in 2028. We liked that the focus was on the vegetables instead of the meat. Plant-based dishes are always a bit more of a challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the IKA is before…? What’s next for your team?\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Everyone in the team goes back to the civilian jobs, which is a nice break and allows us to gain new inspiration for the next challenge. Personally, I am at the foundation of Andreas Caminada but will be happy to come back and start preparing for the Culinary World Cup, which will take place 2026 during the Expogast in Luxembourg.\u202f <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you!<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
