6 hours ago, Bentley said:Not to sidetrack, but there is a wonderful documentary called Kings of Pastry about one chefs attempt to earn the MOF title. It follows Jacquy Pfeiffer of the French Pastry School of Chicago over the course of a couple of years as he prepares for and competes in the event.
Same one @curls linked to above.
@Alleguede and I were discussing the whole MOF thing as we walked yesterday - there are a lot of politics involved - some of the younger chefs are saying 'why bother' these days. 2007 saw the first female MOF ever, 2015 the second. Old Boys Club since 1924!
