Celebrity chef Jack Lee, whose food creations have been served to Hollywood stars, will prepare special dinners nightly during the three-day Food Fest 2017. Once their photos are selected, they will compete with other rivals at the Food Fest to win the VNĐ50-million (US$2,200) prize. The “Vietnam Food Art” contest is for food stylists and photographers, who will be required to take photos during three days of the event. I believe Food Fest will be an effective tool to promote Vietnamese food, and therefore to promote Vietnamese tourism.”Many of Việt Nam’s famous artists will perform at the Food Fest 2017.
