On 7 and 8 August 2016 Ben Péporté from Luxembourg will represent Saarland in the German BBQ Championship 2016, and Villeroy & Boch have announced that the chef will be using their tableware.

A total of 50 teams will fight at the fairgrounds in Fulda for the crown in the first league of the German Sports Grill.

In May, Ben Péporté helped secure his team Let'z Grill 1st place in the southwest German barbecue championship in Bexbach for the second time. His exquisite barbecue creations made his team stand out in the competition and were served on Villeroy & Boch tableware.

Ben Péporté works at the Buvette Food Truck / Restaurant at Rotondes in Luxembourg-Bonnevoie. His homemade barbecue specialties are served on hotel tableware from Villeroy & Boch. Whether it be grilled sausage, steak, vegetables, classic burgers or vegetarian burgers, whether dessert or cake – all dishes are served on the current Artesano Professionale and BBQ Passion collections, which have already won many design awards.

Ben Péporté commented: "For my kitchen I need uncomplicated tableware that looks good and that will help my dishes look appealing. Functionality, high durability and design are equally important, so I think the collections Artesano Professionale and BBQ Passion of Villeroy & Boch are ideal. Guests like it too - what more could you want?"

Grilling is currently a global megatrend, and the grill cuisine is as diverse and eccentric as ever. In line with this, Villeroy & Boch has in terms of design and function rethought the barbecue theme and developed a unique tableware selection for the BBQ Passion series. BBQ Passion makes each barbecue dish look appealing; it is recognised by its distinctive design and premium quality that meets the high demands of the catering industry such as strength, stackability and multifunctionality.
