Culinary Competition

With one hour to prepare a three course meal, teams of four students are judged on knife skills, team work, sanitation, safety, menu presentation, and taste.

Management Competition

Teams of four students develop a business proposal for a new restaurant concept, create posters, answer critical thinking questions and present their concept to judges.
