2019 Concours National des Jeunes Chefs Rôtisseurs de la Nouvelle Zélande

With nearly 25,000 members, the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs is an International Association of Gastronomy now established in over 80 countries bringing together enthusiasts who share the same values of quality, fine dining, the encouragement of the culinary arts and the pleasures of the table.

The distinctive character of the association is to bring together amateurs and professionals, from all over the world, whether they are hoteliers, restaurateurs, executive chefs or sommeliers, in the appreciation of fine cuisine.

Recently they conducted the 2019 Concours National des Jeunes Chefs Rôtisseurs de la Nouvelle Zélande and Southern Hospitality was proud to be a sponsor of the competition. We were happy to provide the judges and the competitors with chef’s jackets, tea towels and a large number of crockery to plate their dishes.

The winner of the competition is Alex Southwick, a young chef based out of Queenstown. He will go on to spend the next several months further developing his skills under the mentorship of his fellow members to compete against the winners of the other national competitions around the world to determine the International 2019 Jeunes Chefs Rôtisseur.
