I'm going to a competition in Grand Rapids, Michigan on Tuesday! I was asked if I was interested the first day I got back to school and of course said yes, and now here I am 1 month and a couple practices later!The competition is called The Nations Cup and this is the 3rd time that students from this school have gone, you can read about the 2007 team here. I think there are 5 black box competitions and a final competition to determine the winner of the Nations Cup.
A black box competition is where you don't know any of the ingredients before going into the kitchen and once you go in they give you a 'black box' full of products you must use. It's all about creativity and quick thinking. Stressful, but lots of fun.
This competition could open lots of other 'competition doors' which means the pressure is on. Just kidding, well, not really. But I'm staying calm and just focusing on the one right in front of me. I'm going to go and give it all I got. Who knows, Gordon Ramsey's 'Hells Kitchen' might be next. Ha! Not!
I'm bring my laptop with me and will do my best to keep you posted...hopefully there will be a picture of me with some sort of medal around my neck!
