The Culinary Olympics returns!

This international cooking competition is actually known as the Bocuse d'Or and takes place every two years in Lyon, France. There was an article about the U.S.'s hopes in the Star Tribune. The U.S. has a history of so-so performances, but this year they are hoping to medal with chef Timothy Hollingsworth. Who is only 28. Is that young for an internationaly competing chef? I have no clue. He must be very good to be selected as the U.S. representitive though.

The website is interesting: http://www.bocusedor.com/2009/en/index.php
There's information about the different teams from different countries, theme of the competition etc.

I must admit, cooking and competition go together.
