                                                The winning platter. France's Davy Tissot was the mastermind behind this piece.

Chefs from all over the world have been testing their skills across disciplines and against the clock in the culmination of 2 years hard training for this most prestigious of events. And the finalists, representing 21 countries, put their skills to the test across two main disciplines amongst a phalanx of screaming supports armed with flags, whistles and cowbells. This is a place where careers are made, where tradition meets craftsmanship, and the level of workmanship demonstrated over the past 48 hours has been staggering.

"Whatever the result, it's a big accomplishment just to be here," said Jerome Bocuse, the competition's president. And he's not wrong, but there can only be one winner, and this year it's the hosts, France.

Davy Tissot began his career with Meilleur Ouvrier de France Jean-Paul Pignol and Jacques Maximim. He continued training at restaurant Paul Bocuse theworked at La Rotonde with Philippe Gavreau where they had 2 Michelin stars.
