An account of Chef Scott Jaeger's journey to Lyon, France, to compete for Canada in the 2007 Bocuse D'Or culinary competition.

Picture perfect
An article was run in this week's Burnaby Now newspaper capping the competition. According to the article, Chef Jaeger's Halibut and King Crab dish placed 5th overall, while there were hollandaise issues with the Guinea Fowl dish. Another fact: this year's French competitor, who won first place, had a budget of $1 million and hadn't worked at all in the past year. Kudos to Chef, who, with a budget of a mere $75,000 and a restaraunt to run, still wowed us all!
My name is Jen, and I bartend at Scott & Stephanie Jaeger's restaraunt, The Pear Tree, located in North Burnaby, BC. While (sadly) I will not be joining Team Jaeger to Lyon (which includes most of The Pear Tree staff), I will be updating this blog with their account of the trip, so as to keep everyone here at home up to speed on the competition (and maybe to live a little vicariously as they cavort about Europe!)
