On Monday 2nd November, UCB will be hosting the final of the British Culinary Federation Young Chef of the Year competition. The prestigious competition will be followed by Dinner and Awards in our fine dining restaurants.
Jack Gameson is representing UCB in the final cook-off. Jack started at UCB at 15 years old when he enrolled at Young Chefs Academy where students learn how to make starters, mains and desserts over 8 weeks on Saturday mornings. After school, Jack joined UCB full-time studying Professional Cookery at levels 1-3 and is now studying higher education at UCB on Culinary Arts Management BA (Hons)!
Jack has been mentored by Chef lecturer Mat Shropshall to produce a 3 course meal and has been busy practising in the incredible Bocuse d'Or kitchen opened by Brian Turner CBE at UCB. Jack has been shortlisted alongside UCB alumni Matt Nicholls (Cheal's Restaurant) and Leonidas Kattou (Simpson's Restaurant). All finalists can be found here.
