The shortlists for the inaugural Caterer Middle East Awards will be unveiled online at HME.com over the course of the next three weeks.

After a long process of whittling down the hundreds of nominations submitted by outlets around the region, between three and six outstanding nominees have been shortlisted in each category — with the exception of the highly-anticipated Chef of the Year title, for which 10 candidates are in the running.

The winners will be announced right here online in the third week of November, following which the trophy presentation ceremony and photo shoot with the winners will feature in the December issue of Caterer Middle East.

Today in the Caterer Middle East Awards 2009 countdown, sponsored by The Hotel Show, we reveal the shortlisted nominees for Kitchen Team of the Year, Bar Team of the Year and Restaurant Team of the Year.
