Roberts Young protege makes it to competition finals

Robert and his kitchen team are thrilled that Scott, one of the team, has been selected from many leading restaurants in the UK to win a place in one of four heats in this year’s Young Chef Young Waiter competition run by The Restaurant Association. A Young Chef, Scott has worked at Eriska for one year and will now compete in the heat of this prestigious competition, which takes place in Fife Academy. If Scott is successful at the heat, he will compete with seven other finalists in the Young Chef category in London on 15th October, with the assurance that, if chosen as the winner, he will not only win £2,000, plus an unforgettable study trip to Berlin, but will also gain the status and credibility to succeed within the restaurant industry, as have many of the previous winners.

Young Chef Young Waiter is the longest established competition in the industry and is organized by The Restaurant Association in recognition of the talent found in restaurants and kitchens nationwide, with one prize awarded to the best Chef and one to the best Waiter. Seen amongst the trade as the industry’s premier award, Young Chef Young Waiter is aimed at under 24’s who are passionate about food and its service and, whether winners or not, entrants will enjoy the experience that the award offers in competitive cooking with their peers.
