The starred chef of the Rouge restaurant will be a coach during this event which will take place in September.
Since 2018, the Filles à Côtelettes have been organizing unusual events. The Filles à Côtelettes club is a community with the ambition of bringing together talents from all walks of life to share the desire to live well and eat better, free from any prejudice. The club is in the running on September 9 and 10 to take part in the 10th edition of the French Barbecue Championship which takes place at the Château d’Avignon, in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer.
The girls at Côtelettes are ready to fan the flames with the firm intention of showing that the barbecue is also a women’s affair. The team will be coached by Georgiana Viou, the starred chef, since 2023, of the Rouge restaurant in Nîmes, who joins the club with three signature recipes under her hat and the desire to go for gold with her accomplices Marine Texier, apprentice – butcher, Elodie Porracchia, shepherdess and Julie Richard, in charge of animation of the AOP Taureau de Camargue.
Beef, bull and lamb
They will be competing in three of the nine categories with the recipes of the Gard chef: beef steak with banana leaves and smoked eggplant marinated in virgin peanut oil, Camargue bull steak, aigrillade spirit and plantain bananas and leg of three-way lamb, pistachio, cassava tabbouleh. Each team has 2h30 to make their dish. The recipes are free but the meat must be grilled and/or smoked. Candidates cook on Master Touch barbecues made available to them by the organization.
The dish presented is judged as a whole by a jury made up of barbecue professionals, catering professionals and fine gourmets, who evaluate each of the recipes on their taste quality, their presentation and their originality. The dishes are evaluated according to the following criteria: presentation of the dish, cooking, taste, barbecue spirit (marking, caramelization, smoky taste), originality, cleanliness of the workspace. The state of mind of the team, in addition to contributing to the conviviality of the event, is taken into account in the event of a tie between two teams.
