Six of Sodexo's finest award-winning chefs will take part, competing against each other for the title of over all winner of the Sodexo Derry Clarke Culinary Challenge, by cooking a three-course meal for four people in two hours. The chefs are: Dennis McCarroll based at Almac in Craigavon, Timothy O’Connor at Aughinish Alumina in Limerick, Diarmuid Murphy at EMC in Cork, Bartek Piatek at Leo Pharma in Dublin, Eoin Murtagh at Davy in Dublin and David Fountain at PayPal in Dundalk.
In preparation, the competing Sodexo Chefs attended a Cookery Masterclass with Derry at his Michelin starred restaurant, L'Ecrivain, in Dublin. For the Challenge, they will have to replicate Derry’s dishes from that Masterclass while adding their own style and twist.
Derry will also chair the judging panel for the Challenge and his fellow judge will include…(Derek Reilly). The winner will be announced after the competition at a gala dinner that evening at the Red Cow Hotel.
