The second place silver trophy went to Team Denmark, while Team Japan was the surprise of the event claiming third place. At the top of the French team was Thibaut Ruggeri, sous-chef de cuisine at Lenôtre Paris. Team France's win marks the seventh time France has taken to the podium to accept the gold trophy since the competition was first held in 1987. Against the best competition in the world, Team USA, Chef Richard Rosendale and Commis Corey Siegel, finished in 7th place, despite high expectations and star chef coaches such as Daniel Boulud Thomas Keller, Grant Achatz and others. Immediately afterwards, Chef Keller tweeted "So proud of Team USA's @RosendaleCMC, @CoreyBSiegel, @BocusedOrUSAand the entire #CulinaryCouncil for their efforts this year. #Lyon2015" as well as his congratulations to the teams from Japan, Denmark, and France.
The Bocuse d'Or is a most prestigious, biennial cooking competition known as the culinary Olympics of the food world and can catapult a chef's career onto the international stage. For those that may not have been in Lyon or watched the competiton on the Web TV broadcast, it was truly an exciting affair broadcast in both English and French. Kudos to commentators Angela May and Vincente Ferniot. And, Chef Regis Marcon also achieved rockstar status with his commentating, as well. Well done! Congratulations to each of the finalists for all their extraordinary efforts! Well done by all! If you haven't checked out the Bocuse d'Or live broadcast on Web TV, you're really missing out.
Great broadcast in both French and English!
It's no secret to TabletopJournal readers that BHS tabletop AG’s American sales subsidiary, Bauscher Inc., has significantly expanded its range for customers in the North American market. On 1 November 2012, Bauscher Inc., headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina took over the distribution of the flatware and hotel brands Hepp and WMF Hotel to the American market. In addition, BHS has also concluded a contract with the Italian glass manufacturer Luigi Bormioli for distribution in the US, the Caribbean and Canada. The agreements are part of an expansion strategy for North and Central America being implemented by the BHS Management Board. “We can thus offer discerning, upscale catering and hotel business customers in North and Central America value-added alternatives to the cheap products coming in from Asia,” says Stefan Jänicke, BHS tabletop AG Head of Export: “The high competence of the Italian glassware manufacturer Luigi Bormioli fits squarely with both product rages, the high-quality porcelain and cutlery from Germany.” “The US markets are an important strategic focus for us,” adds Christian Strootmann, CEO of BHS tabletop AG: “Through the additions to our range and the investment of significant marketing funds, marked growth has been achieved in the US in 2012. In 2013, we will continue this growth path to compensate the difficult general conditions in Europe.” BHS tabletop AG with its brands Bauscher, Tafelstern professional porcelain and Schönwald is the world market leader for professional porcelain and annually sells some 40 million pieces of tableware for the professional catering sector.
