Culinary Competition

A-B Tech Culinary students have the opportunity to join the award-winning Hot Food Team, which has been ranked one of the Top Four nationally in the annual American Culinary Federation Student Team competition.

The competition requires student teams to first demonstrate butchery and knife skills then prepare a four-course signature meal. They are awarded points out of a possible 40. Gold medal winners have to earn at least 36 points.

Hot food competitors are judged on such criteria as the flavor, taste, texture and doneness of their foods; serving methods; portion sizes and creativity. Floor judges also evaluate their organization, sanitation, teamwork, workflow, and cooking techniques and knife skills.
