The Nestlé Golden Chef's Hat Award
2020 has looked very different for all of us on many fronts. As a result of the hospitality lockdowns, we wanted to make sure we continued to be true to our 55-year legacy of developing the next generation of young chefs. This year has been the time that young chefs needed our support more than ever. Nestlé Professional promised to standby our young chef community and we went all out to make it as exciting a journey as ever.
