The Bocuse d'Or is the culinary world championship and aims to promote young chefs from all over the world. For ambitious competitive chefs having it on one's CV is an important asset, and if one wins the Bocuse d'Or, it has within the culinary world just as great an importance as an Olympic Gold has for an athlete. Danish Chef Rasmus Kofoed is the only chef to ever participate in Bocuse d'Or more than twice and the only chef to ever win more than one statuette. In 2005 Rasmus Kofoed won bronze and in 2007 he won silver. He is also the gold winner of Bocuse d'Or Europe 2010. The Bocuse d'Or trophy is created by artist Christine Delessert in the image of Paul Bocuse, and it comes with a euro 20,000 in prize money. As Rasmus Kofoed proudly says, "winning three Bocuse d'Or is even more than having three Michelin stars";. Available video includes soundbites and general views.
