The Bocuse d’Or 2011 - What's the importance?

[matthewjg]

Every two years, one of the biggest and most prestigious events in the culinary world takes place in Lyon, France. This is the Bocuse d’Or, an international cooking event named after its founder, the great Chef Paul Bocuse. This culinary competition is being participated by 24 chefs who came from 24 different countries, each cooking his own special recipe based on a prearranged set of parameters in the hopes of winning the grandest title in the culinary world.

But what is the Bocuse d’Or? Where did the idea came from? What is its history? And more importantly, why was it created by Chef Paul Bocuse?

What is the importance of this international event to you as a professional chef?
