Senior sous chef with the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre (BCEC) Russell Clarke has been selected to represent Australia at the Bocuse d’Or international cooking competition in France, one of the world’s most prestigious cooking competitions.

Clarke and his apprentice chef Mathew Lee will compete for the world title in Lyon in January.
The Bocuse d’Or (Concours mondial de la cuisine) regarded by many as the world’s most highly rated cooking competition, known as Cuisine Olympiad, has become the most sought-after prize for young chefs world-wide and provides a professional springboard for young talent in international gastronomy.


The Brisbane pair won the right to represent their country at the biennial world chef championships from a strong field of five teams of Australia’s top young chefs including former international competition winners.


A team of 30 international and Australian judges including visiting 2 star Michelin French Chef Emmanuel Renaut and some of Australia’s most respected and well known chefs made their selection according to established rules of the international Bocuse d’Or competition, at a five hour cooking marathon held in Brisbane.


The announcement was made at the 2011 Bocuse d’Or Presentation Dinner held for the first time in Brisbane at the BCEC last night.
