Black box cooking competitions are considered the most challenging of culinary competitions because the food content of the boxes is not revealed prior to the event. The pressure of competing is compounded by the unknown ingredients. The chef has to accept the challenge of devising a main course from the Black Box by using only the foods the box contains. Once open, it's up to the chef's creative talents to come up with an innovative idea and prepare it in the 35 minute time allotted.

Competitors were judged by culinary professionals, on composition, creativity, correct preparations, service practicality, taste, proper utilization of ingredients, presentation and consistency. Distinguished members of the BC Chefs Association acted as the official judges during the three days of competitions: this year's judges were Chef Sylvain Cuerrier, River Rock Casino, Chef Edgar Rahal, President, BC Chefs Association, Chef Paul Ho, Treasurer, BC Chefs Association, Chef Boban Kovachevich, Corporate Chef Executive Hotels, Chef Adrian Bernhard, Corporate Chef Canada Bread, Chef Anthony Munroe, Corporate Chef Intercity, Chef Winnie Lam Yardley, corporate Chef Yen Bros and Chef Donald Gyurkovits, National President, CCFCC

Judging Coordinator: Chef Michael Pinter CCC, Executive Chef, Seton Villla.
