Mixed feelings

There has not been much media response to the good results achieved by the Hungarian team at this year’s Chef’s Olympics held in Erfurt. We asked Attila Tanács, the most successful member of the Hungarian team with one gold and two bronze medals, how much is a gold medal worth in this “sport”? – Considering the recognition winners of gold medals at the Olympic Games get, I do not feel very happy, especially when I think of all the time and effort it has taken to win my gold medal. The Olympics and world championships organised for chefs are not regarded very highly by some experts. – Many people do not understand why “Artistica” is important and it has taken me some time to realise how important it is – he says. In addition to winning a gold in “artistica”, he also won a silver in the buffet meals category this year. This year’s Olympics cost HUF 500,000 for Attila Tanács.
