On June 1, 2019, something extraordinary was set in motion. What started as a bold idea became a global movement—the world’s first and only international culinary competition for blind and visually impaired chefs. Six years later, Golden Eye Chef has grown beyond all expectations, redefining inclusion, innovation, and excellence in the culinary world.
We invite you to look back at the journey, the impact, and the people who made it all possible.
