The event is held on occasion of Santo Domingo being the “Gastronomic Capital of the Caribbean,” by the Academia Iberoamericana de Gastronomia.
Chef Díaz said the winner will be asked to present Dominican dishes with a vanguardist touch, but not losing their essence.
Some 3,500 persons registered to participate and after the first casting, 80 persons were chosen.
The shown will be transmitted by Channel 11, Telesistema on Sundays at 8pm.
