Teams of participants must develop a plan for the time allotted, prepare menu items given to them at the time of the event, and present their prepared items to evaluators. Students are judged on knife skills,team organization,food production taste and presentation . 

The winning team will be announced at the FCCLA spring conference on March 28,2019 in Cherry Hill NJ.
Best of luck to Chef Palsi and his students!
