During the month of November, eleven chefs in Aruba will battle for the title of ‘Top Chef Aruba’. Each chef has created a signature dish, which is featured as a special at the chef’s restaurant. Besides a jury of industry professionals, customers are also a judge by ordering the plate and thereafter leaving their vote on the competition’s website. By voting, you have a great chance to win a $1,000 VIP dinner for 4 people with the winning chef. In addition, there are daily prizes to win also like bottles from the amazing selection of Winehouse Josh Cellars.
This year you can also purchase a package in advance. This deal includes the purchase of 10 dishes, and you will receive one extra for free. You can place your order online at topchecfaruba.com.
The competing chefs are Lerjan Caceres (Café the Plaza), German Moncada (Dragonfly), Bruno Santos (Fishes & More), Nando Meijer (Hadicurari), Ewen van Seumeren (MooMba Beach), Coliene Kievit (Nos Clubhuis), Jeffrey Wouters (Que Pasa), Pedro Ferrandiz (Salt & Pepper), Michael Eman (Surfside Beach Bar), Julian Moronta (Tango Argentine Grill) and Rodrigo Cespedes (Willem’s Dutch Pancakes). Each chef has created a unique plate based on their personal inspiration. These stories behind the plates can be read at topchefaruba.com, where you will also find pictures.
The Top Chef competition is supported by local partners: Divino (Josh Cellars), yummyaruba.com and ASD (ChefWorks).
