GRAND CHUTE, WI (WTAQ) – Fox Valley Technical College was the site for high school chefs to throw on the apron and show off their skills on Friday.
The college’s fifth annual High School Culinary Throw Down brought together students from six different participating schools.
Students were given one hour to prepare a chicken dish in any way they like and they worked in teams of two.
Some of the different areas the teams were judged on include: presentation, sanitation, timeliness, utilization of product and taste.
The students were able to showcase their talents while utilizing the state-of-the-art cooking facilities on campus.
“Every year it seems that students that are here, participating in our program, end up coming into our program,” says R.C. Schroeder of FVTC. “I’ve already talked to a few of the competitors and a few of them we will be seeing next year joining our program as well.”
The top team received a $500 scholarship to Fox Valley Tech, which was a new addition to this year’s competition.
The top prize awarded Friday went to two students from Plymouth.
