Included were 36 high schoolers from across the US, winners of preliminary local competitions among 1,200 students.
The winner gets an $87,000 scholarship to study culinary arts at one of the Art Institute’s 37 campuses.
The students had about 1 hour each to to prepare two courses using a preset list of ingredients.
They were closely monitored by the judges, who evaluted their knife and other culinary skills.
As judges, we also had to taste two courses each from the 36 competitors. That made for 72 plates to taste in about six hours.
We also met with each student and gave them feedback on their cooking and career advice.
I can’t tell you who won.
You’ll have to tune into Cooking Channel later this Summer to find out.
