The Bath County Junior Chef Team won the Kentucky Proud Farm to School Junior Chef competition on Friday at the Kentucky State Fair. The team, which consisted of Blaine Wilson and Dalten Lee, prepared a dish called Wilsons Frittata and Richards Fruit Cup. They received a $10,000 scholarship offer from Sullivan University.
The LaRue County Hungry Hawks finished second with their dish, Chicken Tacos with Hawk-O Seasoning and a Mexican Corn Elote Bowl. Each team member received a $7,000 scholarship offer from Sullivan.
Montgomery County finished third in the competition. Each team member received a $5,000 scholarship offer from Sullivan.
The Junior Chef competition is part of the Kentucky Proud Farm to School Program, which helps Kentucky schools purchase local foods to serve to their students. The competition encourages participating students to learn how to cook by using local ingredients to prepare healthy meals.
Students who are interested in competing in the next season of Junior Chef are advised to see their school's food service director or consumer science teacher for more information.
