THE WEEK IN BITES

20 MAY 2018

This week at FDL we brought you an exclusive interview with Japanese chef Yasuhiro Fujio, winner of the S.Pellegrino Young Chef 2018 competition, and much more.

S.PELLEGRINO YOUNG CHEF 2018

This week at Fine Dining Lovers was all about the S.Pellegrino Young Chef 2018 competition, which ended with the Grand Finale in Milan.

Japanese chef Yasuhiro Fujio beat out 20 other chefs to become this year's S.Pellegrino Young Chef. The chef also won the Acqua Panna Taste of Authenticity Award.

The grand jury, aka the Seven Sages, was composed of seven of the world’s top chefs: Dominique Crenn, Margarita Forés, Virgilio Martinez, Ana Ros, Annie Feolde, Brett Graham and Paul Pairet.

See the pictures of the grand celebration.
