Cooking under pressure! Last week, culinary students from Great Bridge High and Indian River High faced off in our first annual MRE (Meal-Ready-To-Eat) Challenge at the Peake Cafe.
This event was held in partnership with the U.S. Navy Recruiting and Culinary School. Teams had just 50 minutes to transform standard military rations into unique culinary creations using limited fresh ingredients.
Shout out to our Navy partners who made this possible: instructor PO1 Tyree Cooper from the Quartermaster School, and recruiters PO2 Richard Nettles and PO1 Michael Udtohan.
While our expert judges praised both teams for their incredible creativity and talent, Great Bridge High School took home the championship title!
Congratulations to all of these amazing student chefs! 🏆#CPSCelebrates
