For this continental selection,\u00a0the Bocuse d\u2019Or was held in a new promising gastronomic destination – Estonia. The unique themes \u2013 Estonian quail and eel catfish \u2013 en- riched the Bocuse d\u2019Or world with new and interesting flavours. The chefs had quite a challenge to win over the judges with components that are yet to gain wider recogni- tion in the culinary industry.<\/p>\n
According to the honorary president Clare Smyth the level of chefs was remarkable. \u201cIt was incredibly close competition. There are so many really exceptional chefs and I\u2019m glad there is such an experienced jury because it\u2019s such a responsible job to get this right,\u201d said Smyth.<\/p>\n
Due to COVID-19 the event was held without wider public in Saku Arena in Tallinn. Nevertheless, the chefs have been quite exceptional, and everyone was very happy and moved to be gathered for one of the only international gastronomic contests held this year. The\u00a0level was high as ever and the live broadcasted format of the contest maintained the captivating sport event atmosphere that Paul Bocuse had always had in mind.<\/p>\n
