The chefs competed with each other in four groups in a cultural and recreational complex on Monday and Tuesday, said Morteza Nazari, the Deputy Chief of Zanjan province’s Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Department.

The top ten chefs of the competition will be eligible to take part in the 13th National Iranian Broth Festival slated for August 13 to 17 in Zanjan province.
