International contest The Bocuse d'Or is probably the greatest chef's competition in the world, which means it's vitally important that the right person fronts the British team.
Last week, BigHospitality was one of a handful of publications to be given access to the cook-off between shortlisted candidates Adam Bennett of Simpsons and Martin Hollis of Gleneagles at the University of West London in Ealing.
Watch our video to find out what was involved in the process and to hear from chefs Brian Turner and Nick Vadis, and of course, the winning candidate, about the competition.
