Students Battle for Iron Chef Glory
Typically, students head to Casertano Hall to consume delicious food prepared by our worldclass Aramark chefs. Over the weekend, though, the script was flipped, as teams of 5–6 student chefs representing each dorm on campus put their cooking skills to the test in the second annual Iron Chef competition.
Beginning with a standard lineup of ingredients, teams were tasked with preparing a stir-fry dish in under an hour. Right before the competition kicked off, lemon grass was introduced as a surprise ingredient that each team was required to incorporate into their menu.
When the fresh ingredients stopped sizzling, teams presented their creations to an esteemed panel of faculty judges: Michelle Blayney, Florent Lacroix, and Garvin McAlister. The trio of judges dug into their tasty task, ultimately declaring the Case/Clark/Guest team’s Kung Pao chicken and tofu dish the winner.
