Culinary creativity was on full display as Wilson Talent Center’s second-year Culinary Arts students competed against staff members in a sizzling Chili Cookoff. Students Jaiden G. and Noah D. claimed victory with their flavorful Puerto Rican-inspired "Chili con Carne y Sofritos," while staff member Kate Smith impressed judges with her "Cluck-a-Lucka Chili."
The competition not only tested culinary skills but also provided students with hands-on experience in recipe development and teamwork. Events like these highlight WTC's commitment to experiential learning, preparing students for successful careers in the culinary industry.
