A clash of talent for a great cause

The idea behind the Chefs’ Ryder Cup is simple: to bring chefs together in a shared spirit, putting their passion for cooking at the service of a good cause. Behind the friendly competition between Belgium and Luxembourg lies a common desire to create an exceptional moment and to support the children helped by 4 Kids’ Smiles.

Both teams gave their very best. Luxembourg held its own with a solid score, and the final margin should not overshadow the quality on display in both camps.
