Other special prizes

This edition of the Bocuse d'Or put a lot of emphasis on social commitment, starting with the concept of 'Feed the kids', for which each team had to imagine an entire children's menu based around squash that was both balanced and fun. A jury made up of children with an average age of 10 was present to judge, eventually choosing Japan as the winner. France won the jury prize its 'Feed the kids' menu.
