Mobile Dairy Experience @ Jr Iron Chef (VT)
March 29
Jr Iron Chef VT is a statewide culinary competition challenging teams of middle and high school students to engage in improving their own health and the health of their community by creating nutritious, local dishes to inspire school meal programs.
The annual event invites teams of 3–5 students — coached by local educators, chefs, school nutrition staff, and parents — to gather in the spirit of friendly competition and cook up an original recipe in under 90 minutes. Every dish is judged by a panel of food system professionals and advocates, and awards are given out in three categories: taste, teamwork, and use of local ingredients. Teams practice for months to hone their recipes, and their dedication and skill is evident during the spring competition.
