For the 39th time, 24 apprentices from the cook, restaurant and hotel business training occupations competed for the coveted Münsterlandgabel (Münsterland fork) on Monday 27 January 2020. The competition for apprentices is run by the training organisation Köcheclub Münster e.V. and is sponsored by Hupfer. This year it was held in the Restaurant Ackermann in Münster Roxel.
The competition is held annually and helps gastronomy professionals come together to discuss their experiences. In addition, the competition gives interested members of the public a chance to see the highly developed skills of the apprentices in the Münsterland area.
This year Pascal Brinckwirth proved to be the cream of the crop of young chefs. His four-course menu impressed the jury and won him first place. The trainee chef is an apprentice at the Gasthof Driland in Gronau. Jan Klossek from the Hotel Kaiserhof Münster took first place in the category for hotel business specialists and Greta Traumann from Großen Kiepenkerl Münster was the winner among the restaurant specialists.
The participants were particularly pleased with the very special trophies. The high-quality trophies were created especially by Hupfer and are genuinely unique.
