The worldwide professional cooking and gastronomy competition would first arrive to Hungary in its existence since being launched in 1987. For a decade the competition was not followed by great audiences until a Mexican contestant brought mariachis and cheering and shouting supporters with himself in 1997. For the past two decades the competition of chefs has been followed with great amusement by spectators.
