Cape Town, South Africa, August 2018 – With a long tradition as one of the world\u2019s most appreciated sparkling mineral waters, S.Pellegrino has become an essential part of the global fine dining scene. Wherever you find fine food you find S.Pellegrino. For the last 16 years the name of S.Pellegrino has been synonymous with the internationally most recognised restaurant awards, World\u2019s 50 Best, and they have taken their dedication to the world of gastronomy one step further with the S.Pellegrino Young Chef awards, which recently celebrated their third edition.<\/p>\n

Every year the attention of the entire food world is focussed on the World\u2019s 50 Best awards to see which of the gastronomic legends of the fine dining scene will achieve the ultimate recognition of being crowned first in the world. South Africa\u2019s The Test Kitchen had the honour of taking the 50th coveted spot on the 2018 list at the prestigious ceremony on 19th June in Bilbao, Spain. \u201cIt\u2019s amazing to be recognised as a global contender on the restaurant scene,\u201d says chef Luke Dale-Roberts, \u201cparticularly because we weren\u2019t on it last year and now we\u2019re back. What is so great is that the World\u2019s 50 Best really is a global award with restaurants from every corner of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

However sparkling and glamorous, the World\u2019s 50 Best is about more than the awards ceremony. The five-day programme presents numerous opportunities for food innovation and dissemination of ideas, such as the 50 Best Talks, a culinary thought leadership conference that explores global food developments and restaurant trends. Always at the forefront of initiatives to stimulate progress in the world of gastronomy, S.Pellegrino recently also supported the prestigious symposium \u2018Transforming Society Through Gastronomy\u2019 in Modena, exploring the impactful role that the food industry can play in society from nutrition to economic development.<\/p>\n

With the S.Pellegrino Young Chef competition, the brand takes a pro-active interest in developing talented young chefs from all over the globe in a demanding 18-month selection process. The 21 finalists work with mentors from the programme to hone their signature dishes, until they compete in the final contest in Milan judged by a grand jury of starred chefs. South Africa\u2019s Vusumuzi Ndlovu, of the pop up at The Marabi Jazz Club, was named one of the Top 7 young chefs in the grand finale in May this year. \u201cEveryone knows and respects S.Pellegrino,\u201d he says, \u201cso when you\u2019re quoted by them as one of the best young chefs in the world it\u2019s like wow, everyone listens. It helps you to open up to a different clientele.\u201d He also appreciates his exposure through the programme to the global fine dining scene \u201cThey\u2019ve got access to so many restaurants and chefs all over the world. They attract exciting people, so you can link with great chefs in say Japan, or in Paris.\u201d<\/p>\n

For South Africa the support and influence of a truly global brand like S.Pellegrino makes a real difference to the local fine dining scene, bringing it to the notice of the international food community, which might not otherwise travel here. \u201cWe are an isolated country at the bottom tip of the world,\u201d says Dale-Roberts. \u201dThere are definitely more restaurants in South Africa that could contend on this scale, but geographically it\u2019s more difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n

And the S.Pellegrino Young Chef benefits the local fine dining scene by stimulating all the chefs taking part through international encounter and exchange of ideas, as well as the ongoing relationship and support that is so much appreciated by the finalists. \u201cWhat\u2019s nice about S.Pellegrino, they don\u2019t make themselves unreachable. If I have an idea I can email and they will back that up 100%.\u201d says Ndlovu.<\/p>\n

S.Pellegrino and Acqua Panna play a part in South Africa\u2019s local awards scene too, sponsoring the Eat Out Chef of the Year. It was awarded to Chef Liam Tomlin in 2017, who consequently participated at Care\u2019s in Italy, an international event hosting chefs from 14 countries to exchange ideas and discuss ethics and sustainability in the food industry, of which S. Pellegrino is one of the sponsors.<\/p>\n

S.Pellegrino really has become synonymous with fine-dining, so that anywhere in the world that you find fine food, at home and abroad, you\u2019ll find S.Pellegrino.<\/p>\n
