Chefs throughout Wisconsin are invited to enter the 2016 Wisconsin’s Taste of Elegance contest. This exciting contest offers chefs an opportunity to showcase their culinary skills, while taking a chance at $2000 in cash prizes and a complimentary trip to the Culinary Institute of America’s Greystone Campus in St. Helena, Calif.
Entries are now being accepted for this contest, which is sponsored by the Wisconsin Pork Association. The Taste of Elegance features Wisconsin’s leading chefs, who utilize pork to create innovative and exciting new entrées for their menus.
The Taste of Elegance is open to all employed chefs from a Wisconsin foodservice establishment. Entry deadline is December 10, 2015. Chefs can contact Wisconsin Pork Association at (608) 723-7551 for an entry form and list of rules, or can download the materials from the WPA web site at www.wppa.org. Chefs will be asked to submit their recipe for their pork entrée, a copy of their restaurant’s menu, and a résumé.
Following selection of the top recipes, up to eight chefs will be invited to prepare their entrées for a panel of judges. Entrées are judged based on originality, appearance and taste.
