ME London asks chefs to submit Masterchef-style video to land commis role
Spanish hotel brand Melia is hoping to find a commis chef for its new ME London hotel by asking potential candidates tosubmit a Masterchef-style video of themselves in which they can demonstrate their passion for food.
A commis chef who wows judges in their video could work in the kitchen for the new restaurantat Melia's ME London hotel
The 173-bedroom hotel, which will open on The Strand this July, has started a majorrecruitment drive for staff with the unusual method of a video CV being used to find one new member of the kitchen team.
To enter the ME.N.U challenge, chefs will need to submit a short video of themselvesexplaining their passion for food by 12 April 2012.
From the submitted entries, eight hopefuls will be chosen to prepare dishes live for a panel of judges that will include ME London's new general manager Fabio Gallo, the hotel's head of HR Robert Dunning, Jon Yanti of recruitment company The One Group and Springboard chief executive Ann Pierce.
Judges will shortlist three candidates who will be invited for an official interview and final skills tests before a winner is chosen. The finalist will not only win a full-time job in the kitchen at ME London but will also be sent to the US to take part in a two-week training programme.
Gallo said: “Core to the ME brand is the notion that each hotel should engage with the unique character of its surrounding city. What better way to ensure that our hotel is infused with a vibe that is truly London than to throw open this opportunity to ambitious and talented locals?”

The hot list: A new wave of hotels hits London
Thanks to two rather big events taking place in London this year, 2012 is definitely the capital's time to shine. While the city is already jam-packed with world-famous hotels, the Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics have sparked a rapid increase in new developments all over the place, from Regent's Street tothe East End. Take a look below to find out more about the newest names in London.
Hotel: The Wellesley, opening November 2012 Where: KnightsbridgeUSP: 1920s art deco meets city sleek decor. Sip on cocktails in the Jazz Bar or light up in The Cigar Room before heading to one of the 36 decadent bedrooms - or perhaps even the Penthouse Suite - for a good night's sleep. We're talking six star luxury here. What's the damage: No word yet but our guess is this Hyde Park Corner location will put it in the pricey bracket.
Hotel: ME London, opening July 2012 Where: The StrandUSP: Designed by Foster + Partners, this contemporary hotel is the latest project from the Spanish hotel group, Melia Hotels International. It's 157 bedrooms will make it a popular stop off for tourists this Summer, but we'll be heading to the rooftop bar for some of the best views of the city. What's the damage: The prices haven't yet been released but we're expecting reasonable rates for a central location.

The hotel: Belgraves, now open Where: Belgravia - a stone's throw away from Sloane Square
USP: The Thompson group have recently opened their latest hotel, aimed to be "a second home for guests and glitterati alike" and with its SW1 location,there's a chance you'll bump into some of the most glamorous guests in London. It boasts a chic, sleek style with subtle hints of cosiness (roaring fires,patterned rugs, comfy sofas) and foodies will be happy with the in-house restaurant - Hix Belgravia. What's the damage: King Deluxe Rooms are around £260 a night.
The hotel: The Ampersand, now open Where: South KensingtonUSP: There are 111 bedrooms here, but it has retained a boutique hotel feel with quirky, colourful decor and luxe rooms inspired by the local area - from theRoyal Albert Hall to Chelsea Gardens. Our favourite feature? The cellar-turned-restaurant, Apero, which serves up Mediterranean treats daily. What's the damge: Double rooms start at £125 a night and range up to £245 for a Deluxe Studio.

This summer ME London is set to shake up London’s high-end hotel scene when it opens on The Strand in July overlooking Somerset House. Having taken
over the historic BBC Marconi building, ME will be the UK flagship hotel for the ME by Meliá brand and will be designed by Foster + Partners.
We’re talking 157 rooms and suites plus a luxurious two floor suite that opens onto the roof terrace in the turret of the building. There will be two
restaurants and a bar on the ground floor - including the first British incarnation of Steakhouse concept STK and there’s also a partially-covered rooftop
terrace bar boasting fantastic 180 degree panoramic views of the capital.
Each guest's stay will be orchestrated by a dedicated Aura Experience Manager (AEM). The name of the game, we suspect, is tapping into your inner
psyche so ME knows what you want before you do. And yes that includes securing you the hottest tickets in town and knowing you like a salted caramel
choccie on your pillow.
ME has just finished the first stage in an X-Factor style ME.N.U. challenge for a full time position in the kitchen beginning with a fully-paid two-week
training programme in North America. Contestants submitted a short video of themselves explaining their passion for food. Eight hopefuls will be chosen to
prepare dishes live before a panel of judges. There will also be recruitment events for front-of-house, supervisor and management roles with successful
applicants invited to attend a ME Factor talent day 23-27 April.
Meliá Hotels International was founded in 1956 in Palma de Mallorca and is one of the world’s largest resort hotel chains. There are currently ME Hotels in
Madrid, Barcelona, Cancun, Cabo with and a ME Vienna set to open in 2013.

Opening from the May 28th for reservations is Il Ristorante (at the Bulgari Hotel,
Knightsbridge) with Head Chef Robin Pepin (previously at Alain Ducasse’s Italianrestaurant La Trattoria, Monaco). Expect a menu of contemporary Italian food with
a focus on seasonal, sustainably sourced produce. The sleek silver-themed interior

Across town (on the corner of Aldwych and the Strand) and scheduled to open in
July is the (Foster & Partners designed) ME hotel by Melia (formerly the old BBCMarconi building) featuring the first non-US outpost of New York (‘femalefriendly’) steakhouse STK. There is also a roof top bar and terrace with panoramic
views across London (pictured).
Also opening is the Potting Shed (at the newly refurbished Dorset Square Hotel)
serving up English brasserie style cuisine using (of course) locally sourced and
seasonal produce. The hotel started Tim & Kit Kemp’s successful Firmdalecollection (which now has seven hotels in London and The Crosby Hotel in New
York City). As previously featured the opening of the Caf Royal (part of the The Setcollection) will include the exquisitely restored Grill Room (restaurant) and the
Domino Room and will be opening in time for the London Olympics.
Missing out on the Olympics will be the anticipated opening of the London Edition,
with the refurbishment of the grade ll listed former Berners Hotel in Fitzrovia by IanSchrager and Marriott International. Andre Balazs, the owner of some of most iconic
hotels (The Mercer in New York, Chateau Marmont etc.) is set to also launch a property in London to open next year. Situated on the site of the old fire station on
Chiltern Street (Marylebone) and rumored to include an outpost of the popular (American bistro style) meatpacking district eaterie – The Standard Grill.
