Bocuse d'or

Ok, after reading the application for entry into the Bocuse d’or (http://www.bocusedorusa.org),  I was shocked to see a maximum age of 22 allowed for the Commis (chef’s assistant).

Some of us chefs, who are getting… um.. seasoned employe professional cooks, and don’t have a culinary school nearby from which to pull interns, apprentices, and the like.

I know when I was 22, serious was not in my vocabulary.
