San Bernardino County students compete in "Chopped"-style culinary challenge
Summary
County superintendent Ted Alejandre described 24 student chefs competing in a San Bernardino County Chopped Culinary Competition organized by Mountain Desert career pathways.
San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools Ted Alejandre said 24 student chefs from the High Desert, East Valley and West End regions competed in the San Bernardino County Chopped Culinary Competition.
Alejandre said the contest, organized through Mountain Desert career pathways, gave students mystery ingredients and limited time to prepare restaurant-quality dishes for a judging panel. He said the competition demonstrated the strength of career technical education programs countywide.
A participating student described prepping recipes, testing starches and practicing cooking techniques in the two days before the competition and said, "It's been a cool experience."
Why it matters: Alejandre framed the event as a showcase of career technical education and a hands-on pathway into culinary careers. No funding changes or formal actions were announced in the remarks.
