They took on the challenge but only one lucky team will be victorious! After slaving away at the stove and battling hard – 54 aspiring high school chefs will find out who will make the culinary podium of the High School Culinary Challenge.

Eighteen teams from high schools in communities including Edmonton, St. Albert, Sherwood Park and Vegreville competed for gold by preparing a three-course meal. The students were judged on preparation, timing, sanitation, presentation and, of course, taste!

Join competitors, their friends and family, and event organizers in this celebration of culinary achievement by some of the top high school chefs in Edmonton and its surrounding communities.

The Awards Dinner takes place on Monday, March 7, 2016 at the Shaw Conference Centre beginning at 6:00 p.m.

Tickets for the dinner are available to the public online at www.highschoolculinarychallenge.ca, by email at admin@edmontonchefs.ca or by calling 780-475-2433. Tickets are $35 or $245 for a table of 8, which includes a three-course dinner. Money raised at the High School Culinary Challenge Awards Dinner will go towards the scholarship fund which all participants of the High School Culinary Challenge are eligible to apply for. Up to three full scholarships to attend NAIT’s culinary apprenticeship program will be awarded. In addition, scholarship recipients through the High School Culinary Challenge receive the opportunity to work on the job with some of the city’s top chefs.
