One of the most important and prestigious international competitions for young cooks and young waiters under 25 years of age.
Once a year since 2003, the Disciples Escoffier International Association organizes the "Young Talents Escoffier" competition with a kitchen category and a service category open to young people under the age of 25. An opportunity made of meetings but especially of transmission to the young generation, it has now made its own place in the meetings of international gastronomy.
After regional, national and zone selections, 8 teams from all over the world, each made up of a chef and a waiter under 25, compete in the international final. Since 2008, the international final takes place one year in France, one year abroad, always in a city with a strong gastronomic heritage.
