In addition to searching for a Firestone Discoveries Pathfinder to join our amazing April 17-25, 2010 trip to Peru and the Inca Trail, we are looking for an exciting, outgoing, creative, and adaptive chef who will join us, work alongside our Peruvian cooks and serve as the official Guest Chef on the four-day Inca Trail trek. The winner will be hired as a Guest Chef Consultant and will receive an all-expense paid trip to Peru -- to experience the incredible Inca Trail -- in return for your time and effort.
Now, as you can imagine, cooking on the Inca Trail is not easy but it is guaranteed to seriously stretch your horizons. Picture this: you'll be in the middle of nowhere, cooking over gas grills, working with local ingredients at 13,000 feet elevation. Oh yeah, everything you use to create your culinary delights will need to be carried in on the backs of our local staff. Fortunately you will also be working hand-in-hand with our local Peruvian cooks who can show you the ropes and teach you a few tricks. Either way, creativity and flexibility are mandatory!
To apply, submit a one-minute video showing you cooking a dish that you feel best highlights your creativity, flexibility and personality. What you do in the video is your choice - cooking at home without the lights on, baking in the backyard over a fire, or stirring up a delicious dish while on a trail in your neck of the woods. Anything you choose.
Videos will be accepted through December 14, 2009. The top 10 most popular chef videos, based on the total number of unique YouTube views, will be selected for further review. On or about December 31st three finalists will be chosen and will receive an all-expense paid trip to Firestone Winery in Santa Ynez, California on January 10-12, 2010 The three finalists will participate in a cook-off, to be judged by our panelists. The winner of the cook-off will be selected as our Guest Chef and will join us on the Inca Trail in April, 2010.
