Did you know ever 4 years there is a Culinary Olympics?
And chefs from around 40 countries competed at the last one held in Erfurt, Germany in 2004.
Mial Parker is an American chef I used to work with at The Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky, Amsterdam. Even back then Mial loved entering culinary competions and I helped him with one in Holland…the toughest part was getting the rules translated into English.
In Culinary circles Mial went on to great things and currently teaches at the Professional Culinary Institute in Campbell, CA. Mial’s to date has won and received more than thirty awards including a gold cloverleaf. He was a member of the ACF Western Regional Culinary Team that won a gold medal in 1988, and also served as Captain of Team USA West, part of the Culinary Olympic Team for the USA, 1992. What’s more, Chef Mial is a three time Culinary Olympics individual Gold Medallist and is a certified master chef.
that probably makes me a chef myself. is it hard being a chef? i mean, you'll deal a lot with people taste and you know everyone has a different appealing to food, etc. i'm very interested in cooking and i'm always a student who's eager to learn. i cook for my family and friends, and neither of them saying that they don't like what i cook. but who will know that? i mean, yes they're my guests, probably it's a courtesy to say 'it's nice'. but i mean, is it really nice? i think it is nice, but people have different tastebuds. how do i know it's nice?
