Chef collab is back in Killarney on May 27th, giving chefs of the future the chance to grow and work with some world class chefs for a few days, honing their skills and elevating them to the next level.
Our aim is to promote young chefs and show them the industry's fun side and show them that the industry can be a wonderful and welcoming place to be with some great one-to-one mentoring by world class chefs.
They will be leading by example, making great food accessible to all, shedding the idea of exclusivity often associated with high end food.
Tickets are as close to cost as possible as we just cover food, accomodation and travel expenses making and encompassing as much artisan produce as possible into the menu to shout out our local producers making it a full circle holistic approach to food and chefs.
We have been supported so well from the Irish Hotel Federation and of course the Brehon. If you like good food and want to show your support to the generation this event is for you.
