2009 Hottest Chef’s Competition – Tabasco

Your original menu item should use easily sourced, fresh ingredients that would be profitable for a restaurant to sell. Each entry must incorporate the cost of ingredients, and the remainder of the price it commands would be profit – in another word, cake. The winning recipe will be bold and flavorful, profitable for the operator, and affordable for the consumer. And the $10,000 prize? Well that’s pure icing for you. Each recipe must be an original entrée creation that serves 12-20, with a recommended menu price that does not exceed $15, and with food costs representing no more than 33% of your recommended menu price for your entry. Your entrée can feature any part of the menu – from breakfast to dinner – and must include at least one of the following three flavors of the TABASCO® Family of Flavors®: Original TABASCO® brand Pepper Sauce, TABASCO® brand Green Jalapeño Pepper Sauce, or TABASCO® brand Chipotle Pepper Sauce. Original, Green, Chipotle
To enter, you must be one or more of the following:
* A professional chef, sous chef, or lead line cook in a restaurant
* A professional chef, sous chef, or lead line cook at a non-commercial foodservice establishment
* A student at a professional culinary school
