The 2011 Jeunes Chef Rôtisseurs and Jeunes Sommeliers Competitions are in full swing, with all the regional levels having been completed. The national winners will be announced at a Gala Dinner to be held at the Westcliff Hotel on Thursday the 2nd June 2011. It also incorporates the 30th Anniversary of The Chaine des Rotisseurs in South Africa, and is definitely an event not to be missed!
