On June 12 and 13, for the first time in the United States of America, the 2024 Americas selection for the Bocuse d’Or will take place in New Orleans, the largest city in Louisiana. The news of this event includes the first participation of Venezuela alongside eleven other teams from all over the American continent. The candidates in the running will have to work with traditional Louisiana products for the legendary platter theme in the presence of the Honorary President Emeril Lagasse – recognized for his mastery of New Orleans gastronomy – and Jeffery Hayashi, President of the Jury and Bocuse d’Or Americas 2022. The theme on a plate will be revealed in April!
The theme on a plate has just been unveiled to the candidates, with a spotlight on seafood products. This choice is as logical as it is a nod to local gastronomy, as Louisiana is the second largest producer of seafood in the United States. The candidates will have to work with whole shrimp, oyster and lump crab meat on the same plate, accompanied by a sauce and served warm or cold.
