Congratulations Mr Hulstone

Congrats to Simon Hulstone for flying the flag for Great Britain at the Bocuse D'or. The chef-patron of the Michelin-starred Elephant Restaurant in Torquay remained calm and focused in a 'pressure cooker environment', under the scrutiny of 20 judges, hundreds of spectators and several TV crews at the contest in the French city of Lyon. A massive achievement. Finishing in 10th place but scoring the highest marks for an English chef speaks volumes.
Scottish beef was used throughout the competition to raise awareness of the fantastic quality produced there.
