Congratulations to our 3 Grand Prize winners of the #SecretsOfButterContest! We challenged our community of chefs to unlock the secrets of European butter by creating a savory, bakery, or pastry dish using Butter of Europe for the chance to win 1 of 3 all-inclusive trips to The Anti-Convention. We received many amazing submissions but narrowed the competition down to 6 incredible finalists, two in each category.
After recreating each of the 6 finalist dishes in our Test Kitchen for one last round of judging, we are excited to finally announce our 3 winners! These 3 lucky chefs will be flown to San Diego for a VIP trip to The Anti-Convention in April 2020 and will also be receiving an epic paring knife from Meglio Knives!
Scroll below to see which 3 chefs were chosen as our winners and to see which 5 dishes received the most votes online and will be taking home the People’s Choice Prize – a collection of Chef’s Roll swag! Congrats to all our winners and to everyone who participated in this contest!
