Celebrity Chef Rongon Neogi, Smt. Sulekha Bhadra and Chef Ronit Thakur were on the Jury Panel. Mimi Das and Kaushik Das were the guests for the day.
“All are unique in their own way. Everybody has given their best but it is our task to choose the first three among them”, says Chef Neogi.
The first position was bagged by Tithi Dutta, Santa Das secured the second position and Arshad Jamal stood third.
There were special prizes for participants who were able to answer the quiz related to culinary tricks. Special prize for the innovative recipe on spot was given to Swapna Halder.
“They have shown their talent and presence of mind together”, adds Chef Ronit.
“The Bengal Chef always brings out the best among all the talented cooks. We do not only judge the taste of their food but also test their ability to perform under a special challenge that we give them on spot”, says Smt. Sulekha Bhadra.
All the three winners are selected for The Bengal Chef Season 2 where they will compete with the other winners of the previous Bengal Chef tri-monthly contest.
