Foods Class Competition

“Who Needs a Food Truck?” by Greg Tuttle

One look at me and a person can tell I do not miss many (really, any) meals. In fact, a good argument could be made that I partake of too many. While I am not terribly particular about what I eat, I, as the main cook in my family, am often looking for new things to make, especially when it comes to comfort food.

Whether you are looking for new recipes as an experienced cook or are just beginning your culinary skills, I present the winners of the Spring 2022 Grilled Cheese and Burger Competition from Mrs. Hinz’s Foods classes for your enjoyment.
