The 2021 Australian Nestle Golden Chefs “Hall of Fame” inductee is our own WA Executive Chef Maverick Cuthbert of South of Perth Yacht Club. Maverick has been a National Finalist Winning Gold in 2020 & Silver 2019, also in 2018, 2017, & 2016 achieving Silver medals.
Maverick said “Being a chef there is no better way to improve your technical skills than to compete. It has opened so many doors for me, including being selected into the Australian National Culinary Youth Team, achieving Gold & Bronze medals in Stuttgart Germany at the 2020 IKA Culinary Olympics, competing against the best junior chefs in the world – while competing and traveling overseas representing Australia and promoting Aussie produce.
This experience has propelled my career so much that I have already achieved my goal of being an Executive chef at only 24 years of age. The award opens doors to work in any of the top restaurants and destinations across Australia and overseas, so the world really is your oyster.
