The 2019 Culinary Challenge bought to you by The Australian Culinary Federation will be held at the ICC Sydney, Darling Harbour as part of Fine Food Australia 2019. Chefs, trainees and apprentices will have the opportunity to pit their skills against each other and against the clock, competing for a share of the cash and prizes.

Chefs of the highest caliber and skill level will showcase their talents in front of the Fine Food audience and will be judged by a panel of international, interstate and local judges.

This year the extensive competition program will include the ACF Most Outstanding Chef 2019, Yum Cha Challenge,  and the Nestle Golden Chefs Hat Award.
