About the CuliQuiz Top 100

The CuliQuiz Top 100 is an annual tribute to one hundred champions of craftsmanship in hospitality: chefs, teachers, bartenders, entrepreneurs and suppliers who bring others along in the craft. An independent expert panel reviews nominations on the contribution to the development of (young) professionals, inspirational power and the way someone connects others.

It is not about fame, but about impact. The first edition took place in 2025. Want to nominate someone next year? Follow CuliQuiz and you will hear when nominations open.
