Chefs on parade history (http://www.hrap.org.ph/cop/aboutcop-history.html)
The COP was held annually from 1979 until 1998. Beginning the COP in 2000, it was held every two years until 2004. As the competition grew, so did its venues. From hotels, the contest moved to venues like the Philippine International Convention Center, World Trade Center and the Clamshell in Intramuros. Today, the Chefs on Parade is known as the longest running culinary competition in the country. The contest pays tribute to the Filipino chef, finding the best in the industry and recognizing their talents and skills as chefs. Its objective is to highlight the creative talents of both students and professionals in the industry. The COP awards became a much-coveted prize among culinary students and professionals. Participating in and winning at the COP gave bragging rights to emerging chefs, schools, restaurants and hotels. It served to benchmark one’s knowledge against industry practitioners.
Now, the COP has nine competitions for students and 15 competitions for professionals. And to this day, the Market Basket competition continues to be at its very center, with the winners receiving the COP’s highest award, the L’Assiette d’Or or Golden Plate Award.
And yes that’s COP. I’ll be one of the assistant on our team which will participate on the table setting category. COP will be held on February 10, 11, and 12, 2011 at Halls 1 to 4, SMX Convention Center, Seashell Drive, Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City, Philippines. SEE YOU THERE!
We’ll definitely do our BEST! Wish us luck. So, yea I might be very busy again as the competition is nearly approaching apart from the school work I always had. But I will surely find some time to update here somehow.
