MEET THE FINALISTS
Beef + Lamb New Zealand are delighted to announce the finalists in the search for their next Ambassador Chefs. Fifteen talented chefs have been shortlisted for the prestigious titles and will go on to have their beef and lamb dishes assessed over the next few weeks.
For 28 years, Beef + Lamb New Zealand has sought and recognised New Zealand’s top chefs, and the accolade remains prestigious and relevant in today's hospitality scene. The search focused on looking for chefs who value and celebrate grass-fed New Zealand beef and lamb as part of New Zealand’s national cuisine.
Applicants impressively showcased their innovation and creativity to tell the paddock to plate story through their beef and lamb dishes, showing a sense of pride in using local produce on their menus. New Zealand farmers can feel confident their product is being showcased to a high standard.
The new Beef + Lamb Ambassador Chefs will be announced early April 2024 and take up a two year term.
