The competition, in fact, took place in the presence of a qualified jury composed, among others, by Giandomenico Marchese, director of the Labor, Training, Research and Development Department of the Basilicata Region, and Giampiero Maruggi, managing director of Sviluppo Basilicata, and it was made with the objective to promote and strengthen the presence of Italian cuisine abroad also through training activities for young chefs. The two winners then arrive in Basilicata for an educational experience with our chef and as a testimony to the students of hotel schools who will be attending the event, as well as to learn more about the companies and wine and food products from Basilicata (in particular those of Basilicata Fine Foods brand) to be inserted and promote through their kitchen in the USA.
