What is it?
Dolce’s Grillardeurs Trophy is a unique barbecue and outdoor cooking competition for chefs. Unique because we work according to the “black box” principle: one box with the ingredients, one competition day, a top location, four dishes, a jury of star chefs.

Organized by Dolce World - and empowered this year by the Chaîne’s National Bailliage of Belgium - this special networking event combines a cooking competition with a food in style touch. We only work with wood and charcoal barbecue and grill devices. Each barbecue team consists of at least three team members and the team captain is preferably someone from the hospitality food and drink world.

This trophy is a “one of a kind” due to the unique competition elements, the location and the culinary output.

When and where?
Sunday, December 1st and Monday 2nd. The location for the Dolce’s Grillardeurs Trophy was specially selected this year due to its location at the family Soll Cress Hotel in Koksijde!

Who will be coming?
Chefs, professional barbecue teams, catering employees, gastronomes, foodies or those who love outdoor cooking, barbecuing, grilling, fire.

Jury?
An all-star lineup of Chaîne judges including:
- “The Godfather”: Conseiller Culinaire of Belgium Jean Baptiste Thomaes, Michelin 2-star Chef.
- Maître Rôtisseur Archibald de Prince : winner of the Belgian Bocuse D'Or and Sous Chef at the Michelin 1-star Chateau de Bourglinster in Luxembourg.
- The Conseiller Culinaire of Great Britain: Ben Purton, Chef and Hospitality Consultant.
