Culinary students representing 73 schools across the U.S. and Canada vied for a coveted spot at the 10th annual S.PellegrinoTM Almost Famous ChefSM Competition in Napa Valley in March.

In celebration of its 10th year, the S.Pellegrino Almost Famous Chef Competition will bring back all nine of the past winners to the finals event on March 9-12, 2012, at The Culinary Institute of America at Greystone in Napa Valley, California. Past winners will work alongside the esteemed judge panel to mentor the 10 finalists throughout the three days of fierce competition. All finals competitors will be evaluated in three competition categories: the Mystery Basket, Signature Dish and People’s Choice.

The highly intense, star-powered weekend will culminate with the announcement of the 2012 S.PellegrinoAlmost Famous Chef.
