“Events like the Chef Invitational really make you focus and ask yourself how do I make these core items stand out on a plate,” said Chef Robert. “Just look at the creative dishes from this year’s group of talented chefs: all different, but all were an innovative use of berries. Trust me when I say there are chefs out there watching this competition and already planning for next year.”
