The Research Chefs Association (RCA) has challenged chefs to come up with innovative gold standard tapas dishes, with the winners to be presented at the RCA conference and expo in San Antonio, Texas in March.

The competition is open to teams of one RCA member and one American Culinary Federation (ACF) member who will compete for a $5,000 first prize. Chefs must develop formulations for three tapas, one of which must contain beans, for a casual dining restaurant chain, and include gold standard kitchen recipes and commercial production formulations.

Up to six finalists will create the fresh product version of their concept at the RCA conference on March 23, 2012 and be judged in part on how well the commercialized concept measures up.
