A team of students from Pellissippi State’s Culinary Arts program earned a bronze medal at the American Culinary Federation Southeast Regional Culinary Competition this month – finishing just six points behind the leader in their first time participating in the contest.
The team of five students curated a four-course meal with an Appalachian theme which included a fresh puff pastry with smoked bass and a Campari puree, a spring-forward, arugula-based salad, a simply seasoned duck with blackberry pickled cabbage, a sorghum cake, goat-cheese mousse and more.
