Why did the 2015 Golden Spoon reduce the number of clusters where the contest takes place?

The Golden Spoon contest operates on a big scale, dedicated to professional chefs coming from over the country. Criteria of the contest have addressed the objectives and meaning of the contest. The organizing committee also considered a plan to facilitate candidates the best condition when they attend the contest based on lessons learnt from the contest in the last two years. The organizers realized that candidates have difficulties in transportation as well as time management, and the most important issue is that chefs didn’t have many chances to exchange experience with one another.

Additionally, the score also was restructured to create an interaction among regional cuisines so that chefs can use their advantages and have opportunities to show their skills and use spices from these regions. Moreover this is a big contest so the organizers need to think of a location where the space is sufficient for candidates to create their dishes comfortably. Then candidates can be as creative as possible to have beautiful and qualified dishes.
