Tough meet, but tasty finish

This year’s Robert Bland Culinary Salon, staged this past weekend at East Valley Institute of Technology (EVIT), drew a formidable set of competitors in a formidable judging.

This American Culinary Foundation event, presented by the ACF Chef’s Association of Arizona, is a high level contest with an exceptionally high bar to cross. Nonetheless, these six students – all of whom also were in C-CAP’s TopTen group during this past C-CAP competition, took these medals:

Tiffanny Miller - Flagstaff HS - Silver Medal

Alyssa Falshaw - Flagstaff HS - Bronze Medal

Shoshannah Wright - Payson HS - Bronze

Christopher Andrade - Valley Vista HS - Bronze

Emery Van Gilder - Catalina Magner HS - Bronze

Royce Schlittenhart - Canyon del Oro HS - Bronze

These two students also went home with medals:

Jessie Beekman - Flagstaff - Silver

Kylie Radford - Flagstaff - Bronze

We’ll expect to see all eight students through this year’s practices and finals next spring!
