The James A Forrest Technical Center was the site for a fun and tasteful evening as 28 chefs in two divisions (Junior and Senior) got together to raise money for the students competing in the Skills USA Challenge. Categories included Poultry, Red Meat, Seafood, and the Other category.
The judges for the event included a number of local chefs, a county commissioner (Jack Russell) and the Superintendant of Schools Dr Michael Martirano. About 200 people came out to support the students as the initial date was cancelled on Feb. 1 due to the heavy snows.
Baynet Radio covered the event LIVE on the air and a great time was enjoyed by all!
