FOOD DETECTIVE: Graeme Blundell November 08, 2008
Article from: The Australian
AUSTRALIAN chefs have won gold in the recent 2008 International Culinary Olympics in Germany. It's held every four years, with more than 2000 contestants competing, and it's bigger than even the Eurovision Song Contest (and almost as surreal, to judge from the YouTube clips).
Displaying formidable training, focus and determination, the Australian Culinary Olympic team won gold in the hot-food category, the headline event of the three-day competition.
Teams from eight countries competed to cook for more than 900 people in a restaurant setting. Australia also picked up gold, bronze and silver in the pastry section, silver in the cold buffet category and bronze for hot food (plated cold).
The Australian team was made up of Shane Keighley, Neil Abrahams, John Lanzafame, Shannon Kellam, Jenni Key, Matt McBain, Andre Kropp and Daniel Hiltbrunner.
Acting Detective can't wait for the reality television series. Anything to bump Great British Menu from the world's cable food networks.
It's a show increasingly seasoned with culinary paranoia and, besides, who cares what the French think? www.culinary-olympics.com.
