The Parade des Chefs demands that competing teams produce a three-course meal for 100 paying guests, under almost constant scrutiny from a legion of highly experienced and well qualified judges.

CSCAT were up against seven other teams and, despite seven solid hours of high-pressure cooking, produced a beautiful menu - winning Gold and Best in Class.
