The show is held every year to highlight the newest menu trends, state-of-the-art design and décor, and the Best in the Business education, as well as offer chefs an opportunity to showcase their culinary skills in a variety of competitions. For his part, Chef Jake took on the competition designed to encourage chefs to creatively prepare and feature fresh pork as a main entrée and he won against 12 other chef competitors and past champions with a dish inspired by traditional German flavors and Oktoberfest fun. That dish was a rouladen of pork with sauce charcutiere, braised red cabbage, Brussel sprouts with honey-glazed carrots and poached apples, and a butternut squash puree with a caraway tuile.
