Chef to Be

Welcome to Chef To Be, Calgary’s most thrilling blackbox cooking competition where the head chefs of six well known
Calgary restaurants team up with their ambitious pupils to compete and raise money for a $5,000 SAIT Culinary Scholarship.

The blackbox competition means that students and their associated head chefs will get six specifically chosen ingredients to prepare for an audience of 130 with no prior preparation.

There are other fundraisers, other cooking competitions and the Food Network, but Calgary’s Chef To Be competition is unique in its delivery and message. We want more for you and more for our food industry. With only four hours to cook, the head chefs battle for respect, while SAIT Culinary students compete for the glory of being named Calgary’s ultimate Chef To Be.
