Favorite Foods 2018 Awards
Sixty five young chefs and bakers traveled to the Sussex Technical High School on Saturday, February 17, carrying a prepared recipe and place setting. All were excited and some a little nervous to showcase their foods knowledge and cooking skills. Each contestant was interviewed by a judge who had critiqued their recipe and menu in advance. Judges sample, evaluate the prepared dish and award a ribbon to each participant. Division winners are selected and all attendees are invited to sample the array of foods. It is always a day of fun, education, new experiences and fellowship!
