The Culinary Challenge recognizes outstanding food preparation and presentation skills in collegiate dining services. The winners of each of the association's regional culinary contests square off at the national conference for gold, silver, and bronze medals before a live audience of college and university foodservice managers and industry suppliers.
The 2013 Culinary Challenge will take place on Thursday, July 11, during the conference in Minneapolis. Competitors are required to incorporate the featured ingredient, duck. (See rules for portion sizes and specifications.)
The Culinary Challenge is sanctioned by the American Culinary Federation (ACF) and sponsored by US Foods, with chef uniforms donated by San Jamar - Chef Revival.
