Two Days of Chinese Cooking in Times Square

Over the last two days, top Chinese chefs from around the world have pitted their meat cleavers and woks against each other in the middle of Time Square, New York. It’s all for NTD’s 5th International Chinese Culinary Competition. After seven preliminary rounds yesterday, five western celebrity chefs tried their hand at a classic Sichuan Cuisine in the first ever Fire up the Wok Competition. French chef Antoine Camin wooed judges with his dish, which drew out the sweet and sour hint that’s essential to Kung Pao Chicken. All of this happened in a specially designed set that brought the ancient Chinese capital of Chang’an back to life. Today was the finals to find the master chefs, and the winners will be announced later tonight. Up for grabs is $10,000 for each winner in the five main Chinese cuisine styles.
