TOP CHEFS

Top chefs from across the Jamaica Defence Force brought the heat to the kitchen as they battled for the top spot in the Force Catering Centre’s Cooking Competition.

Teams were selected based on the command in which they serve: Western, Central and Eastern Commands and the First and Second District Jamaica Defence Force Coast Guard.

When the last meal was plated and assessed, Central Command’s Flavor & Fire team emerged as champions. Corporal Grinion, O, of the First and Second District Jamaica Defence Force Coast Guard walked away with the Golden Chef Award.

Bravo Zulu to the teams, organisers, sponsors and partners who made the event a tremendous success.

Here are the highlights.
