join the QC-na Culinary Competition year 4

as i attended the Quezon City Tourism Council membership meeting last Friday, a news was delivered by the QCTC Chairman, Teresita Tirona, and i was excited to know that the 4th year of the QC-na Culinary Competition will be on the works soon. it is an annual gathering and competition of culinary experts to showcase the rich culture, tradition and talents from Quezon City. this year, it will be at the Trinoma Activity Center this August.

there will be two categories: the professional and student categories. the Professional group is open to all restaurateurs and hotels in Quezon City only while they encourage schools even outside Quezon City to join the Student category. registration is not yet open but i will update you with details soon.

what to cook? they QCTC opens the theme on what to serve the national heroes, Jose Rizal, Teodora Alonzo, etc. these have to be 3-course dishes: appetizer, main course and dessert. so this is a call to every culinarian to invent and be proud of the rich culture of Filipinos.

at stake are prizes from the City Government of Quezon City, bragging rights, plus the winner of the Professional Category will be the country's representative to the HOFEX (Hong Kong Food Expo) come 2013 and compete with the best culinarians in Asia.

so gather up your team and prepare for the QC-na 2012. start your training now!
