Bocuse d'Or Will Not Return To EpcotBy Scott Joseph
Jerome Bocuse, son of legendary chef Paul Bocuse and head of his father's operations at Chefs de France in Epcot, was a guest judge on this week's Top Chef (the episode will be rebroadcast tonight at 7). The episode's winner won a chance to compete in the US finals for the prestigious Bocuse d'Or, a biennial culinary competition.

Eh, I think its great that EPCOT got the chance to hold it before. It might come back, but maybe they wanted to have it somewhere else. However, Food and Wine Festival at EPCOT sounds like a perfect place to have it!
