Group 1. Joey, Jayden, Ky
Ky made a delicious honey garlic chicken, Jayden made a risotto with seared chicken and Joey mixed in the mystery veg, asparagus, into his rice for this round. Ky's chicken was so good that I asked him to make a little extra the next day for the other students to taste.

Group 2. Aries, Ekana, Maddix, Alexis
Aries and Maddix both made some deliciously creamy pasta dishes. Alexis showed off some skill and made a rather complex chicken cordon blue. Ekana decided to go the fried chicken route in this very close competition. In the end, the pasta dishes came out on top.

This part of the competition is typically when we get our best cooking. The students have a day under their belts cooking on the upperclassmen side of the kitchen and they have worked through the process of developing a plated dish so they have a better idea on what to focus on. This year was no different as their were truly excellent meals by all four. Students had to use a pork chop, potatoes, and create a sauce for their dish.

This year both students had a similar idea, making a variation on a chocolate cake with the addition of a creamy element and raspberry. Ky asked Kim to work with him as his sous chef. They made a delicious and moist layered chocolate cake with a chocoalte mascarpone cream and homemade raspberry jam. Maddix asked Kyra to be his sous chef and they made a delicious flourless chocolate cake with a white chocolate mousse, raspberry coulis and macadamia nut crumble. While Ky and Kim made a delicious dessert, the level of execution, presentation, and contrasting flavor and texture in Maddix and Kyra's dessert won them the trophy. The winner of the 2024 Chopp-ED tournament is Maddix Gonzalez!
