Last year, Team USA won 46 gold medals at the Summer Olympics in Rio. This year has started out well for America, too, when it comes to gold medals: The US took first place at the 15th biannual Bocuse d’Or, the Olympics of the international chef community. This is the first time the US has ever won gold at the competition, which takes place in Lyon, France. They practiced in a custom-designed kitchen that replicates the dimensions of Bocuse d’Or, from the size and height of the work stations to the heat of the burners. Started in 1987 and inspired by the legendary chef Paul Bocuse, the Bocuse d’Or takes place in front of a raucous crowd of more than a thousand.
