During the competition held on January 26–27, 2025, chefs from 24 countries competed. In the final ranking, France took first place, Denmark came in second, and Sweden secured third place. The Hungarian team—comprised of Roland Kelemen, Noel Fodor, László Szabó, and Bence Dalnoki—also delivered a remarkable performance.

As in previous years, the contestants had to prepare two types of dishes in the final: “The Hungarian Feast” featured a variety of mouthwatering dishes such as charcoal-grilled venison loin, tenderloin, and venison broth with Oolong tea. The “Celery Kingdom” also showcased creative and flavorful culinary creations.

Although the Hungarian team finished 13th overall, winning the best platter award highlights the culinary talent and creativity that define Hungarian gastronomy. Their silver medal in 2023 has only heightened international interest and recognition for Hungarian chefs. The combination of placements and awards serves as a reminder that Hungarian gastronomy is in constant evolution, and it will be well worth keeping an eye on them in future competitions.
