In the Premium Caviar Plating Competition, Haute Caviar and Libbey challenged 15 chefs to create two stunning caviar dishes – one as a traditional caviar service and the other featuring Haute Caviar in an original dish – and plate them on gorgeous Libbey plateware. All of the chefs were incredibly talented and each created amazing dishes, making it extremely difficult decision for the judges to choose a winner. Because of this, the judges are DOUBLING the amount of prizes and winners! Instead of selecting a Grand Prize and 2 Runner Up Prizes for the entire contest – they have chosen a Grand Prize Winner and 2 Runners Up in each dish category!
Both Grand Prize Winners will take home 250g of Premium Haute Caviar, a Chef’s Roll Apparel Carbon Chef Coat, and a Meglio Knife with Haute Caviar-inspired etching. All 4 of the Runner Up Winners will also receive the Chef’s Roll Apparel chef coat and Meglio knife, as well as 125g of Premium Haute Caviar.
A big congratulations to our winning chefs! Haute Caviar would like to thank Chef Graham Elliot for being an amazing guest judge. And thank you to all of the incredible chefs who competed! You can see all the dishes created for this contest at #HauteCaviarContest on Instagram.
