[4] Rasmus Kofoed received his training at Hotel D’Angleterre on Kongens Nytorv in Copenhagen and afterwards worked at the two-Michelin-star restaurant Scholteshof in Belgium.

Shortly after, the restaurant received a star in the Michelin Guide but faced closure after the bankruptcy of an investor in 2009.

[8] While some controversy surrounded the Bocuse d'Or victory of French chef Fabrice Desvignes, Kofoed made no official complaint.

Desvignes became the subject of controversy, allegedly cheating by smuggling precooked ingredients into the final.

[10][11] In October 2009, Kofoed was the Danish selection for representation at the 2011 Bocuse d'Or, becoming the first person to participate in the competition three times.
