The Event

A Night for Masters of the Kitchen

Chef Festival is the first awards ceremony celebrating culinary excellence through the lens of virtual reality in Southeast Asia. Three award categories. International jury. One red carpet evening at The Red Door Club, Bangkok.

Every major culinary award takes place in Paris, London, or New York. This region — 700 million people, the fastest-growing food culture on the planet — had zero. Chef Festival changes that.

The event combines fine dining presentations, live VR streams from the kitchen, and a formal awards ceremony recognizing the chefs, producers, and innovators redefining food in Asia.
