  • Around 20 chefs from up to seven nationalities are slated to participate, including Jordi Roca, Alberto Chicote, Amaury Bouhours, Melhem Ibrahim Fraiha, Chiara Masino, Giuseppe Mazzocca, Wilson Alonzo, Hideyuki Kimura and Marie Thérèse Guimatsa.
  • The festival will stage a more than 500‑metre communal table and two performance spaces as public showcases for visiting chefs across both days.
