CONTESTS
FOOD CHALLENGE
Click here for Food Challenge Information.
For the Food Challenge contest, teams of 3-4 members receive a list of ingredients and have 40 minutes to create a dish. The teams then present their dish to judges and score them on preparation, serving size, food safety concerns, nutritional value, and cost. This contest is very similar to the Food Network Television Show, Chopped.

FOOD SHOW

Choose a recipe from a given category and present it to a panel of judges. During the interview, you will talk about how you prepared your dish, the nutrients and ingredients, dietary needs, healthy substitutions, and more. This individual contest is a great way to build up confidence for an interview while having fun in the kitchen, too!
