A BAHRAINI chef has qualified to compete in the world’s largest culinary sport competition to be held next month.
The World Food Championship (WFC), set to take place in Indianapolis, the US from November 7 to 12, will bring together top culinary talents from around the globe to showcase their skills, creativity and passion for food.
After leaving behind a 12-year corporate career to pursue a lifelong dream of becoming a chef, Ammar Alhasan has dedicated himself to mastering the art of cooking while proudly representing Bahrain on the world stage.
Competing among the world’s top chefs, he aims to bring Bahraini flavours to the forefront and showcase the kingdom’s rich culinary traditions.
“I am honoured to have the opportunity to represent the kingdom in such a prestigious competition,” said Mr Alhasan.
“The journey has been incredible so far, and I am excited to take this next step in my culinary career and make my country proud by coming home a winner.”
More than 1,500 chefs, home cooks and pro teams gather each year to battle it out for a chance to win the ultimate food crown and a share of hundreds of thousands of dollars in prize money.
This year’s prize is $300,000 (BD113,085). Since its debut in 2012, WFC has created more than 30 TV food stars and awarded over $3 million (BD1.15m) in prize money.
