The stage is set for the highly anticipated Pro Chef of the Year 2024 competition, taking place on October 4, 2024, at the International Centre for Culinary Arts ICCA in Dubai. This prestigious event, sponsored by Spinneys, will see top chefs from across the GCC compete in a mystery ingredient cook-off, showcasing their creativity, skill, and culinary prowess.
Here are the chefs who have made it to the final round:
- Alejandro Maestro, Head Chef at TATEL

- Mario Martínez, Head Chef at Leña Dubai
- Guoyu Chen, Head Chef at Demon Duck by Alvin Leung
- Sufyan Alkebata, Head Chef at Ninive Beach

These chefs will face a demanding three-hour challenge, during which they must craft three courses using mystery ingredients. Their dishes will be judged by a panel of industry experts in an intense tasting session following the cooking showdown.
The winner will receive the coveted Pro Chef of the Year 2024 title, along with an extraordinary prize—a luxurious two-night stay at Centara Grand Island Resort & Spa in the Maldives, complete with flights.
