The contest is part of events scheduled by different companies for the citywide Jeddah Summer Festival. “Contestants can cook anything they like to cook,” said Heba Zahid, Account Executive of Phenomenal Pr. during the launch of the contest on Tuesday. “The main aim of this contest is to have fun while cooking delicious food. Judges will be the people present at the restaurant. It can be anyone.” The contest will be held every Tuesday at 9:00 P.M. for 4 weeks. One contestant, Ahmed Ageel, Strategic Planning Manager for Sales in King Abdullah Economic City, said on the opening day that he was there to experiment. “I'll cook sushi, a Japanese dish.
