SOUS CHEF OF THE YEAR

Sponsored by La Marquise International

Being a Sous Chef is a delicate role: they are responsible not only for supporting the head chef and looking out for the business, but also motivating the rest of the team.

Our champion in this category had to prove themselves more than capable of dealing with any issues that may arise, along with the ability to be creative in their own right.

The nominees shortlisted were:

• Theodore Barnes, Bamboo Lagoon, JW Marriott Hotel Dubai

• Shibu John, Nineteen, The Montgomerie Dubai

• Nathania Wasserman, Al Manzil & Qamardeen Hotels

• Daniele Chiari, Piacere Del Gusto, Hilton Ras Al Khaimah Resort and Spa
