How to become a state banquet chef?

The so-called state banquet chef is just a name, not a professional title. The main domestic units that often receive state guests are the "Diaoyutai State Guesthouse". Most of the chefs are recruited from various places, and some are also trained by themselves.

The second is an organization under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which specializes in training chefs for embassies and consulates stationed abroad. However, due to limited talent, it often hires chefs from all over the country every year and selects some chefs to serve as cooks in embassies and consulates. The banquet hall of the Great Hall of the People has a banquet organization department. There are not many chefs and other staff on staff. They are resident and managed and are responsible for small banquet receptions.

If there is a large-scale national banquet, chefs and waiters will be seconded to major hotels and restaurants under the National Tourism Administration and Beijing Service Bureau. The General Assembly Hall and Concierge Department will manage and organize the banquet to complete the reception task of the state banquet. Nowadays, there are many hotels, brand hotels, and restaurants that have the task of receiving state guests by name, but this type of reception work is only high-standard waiting work and is not considered a state banquet.

The state banquet is just a formal banquet representing the country, not a place where the chef is knighted and sealed. Chefs have high and low skills, but they are not reflected in that workplace. As for the standards for state banquet chefs, they are: upright and well-educated, with high political awareness. Skills are no different from those of ordinary chefs.
