Using the contents of a very challenging “black box,” the young chefs were given four hours in which to create a menu and prepare and serve an appetizer, a main course and a dessert for four. Each chef’s written menu has to be completed within the first halfhour, with three and a half hours allowed for preparation. Contestants are judged on taste, originality, creativity, presentation, portion size, nutrition, dress, kitchen cleanliness and timing by a team of professional and nonprofessional judges, under the watchful eye of Executive Chef Cameron Huley, Conseiller Culinaire du Canada.
