Students currently enrolled in EOC’s Culinary program participated in a Culinary Competition on April 22.
Each student received a mystery basket of ingredients and was allotted 75 minutes to prepare a salad or appetizer and an entree with a vegetable and a starch.
Professional chefs from the Capital District evaluated students based on their preparation skills, cooking techniques, time management, meal presentation, taste and flavor and overall creativity. The panel of judges included Stefan Watts from Smith’s of Cohoes, Nick Hammond from Beff’s on Everett Road in Colonie and Justin Englneri from Portofino’s in Latham. All three judges provided feedback to EOC’s Culinary students, who were given a mystery basket of ingredients and asked to create an entree, appetizer, salad or soup.
JaQuan Mensah earned first place, Keith Henry received second place and Sha’kiyla Davis placed third.
Congratulations to all students for a job well done.
