Well done to our Roux scholar

Another great result for a Cathal Brugha St graduate! Kenneth Culhane, a graduate in Culinary Arts, has carried off the hugely prestigious Roux Scolarship against very stiff opposition at the Scolarship's cook-off in London.

Kenneth was victorious at the cook-off on the 29th march at Westminster College. at which he was required to prepare a Fillet of beef an croute a la Bisontine, a classic dish of the Escoffier era. Judging the entries was a panel which included Michel, Albert, Alain and Michel Roux Junior and Gary Rhodes.

Kenneth, who works in a contract catering business in London, now gets a 3-month "stage" at a major-league restaurant of his choice. The French Laundry in the US is one of those he is considering.

Kenneth's mentor for this was our own James Carberry, who himself won the same prize in 1992, and who was at the awards ceremony to appalud his successor.
