The contest, a benchmark for discovering new culinary talent in Lleida, required thirteen participants to create a main course using pork ribs and a dessert featuring local apples or pears. Sergi López from Cal Xirricló took second place.
“"I am 22 years old and this is the first gastronomic competition I have participated in because my boss insisted. I am very excited and surprised."
The event concluded with a Gastronomy Festival, where attendees enjoyed tapas from fifteen top local chefs paired with DO Costers del Segre wines and San Miguel beers, celebrating the vibrant food scene of the region.
