The smell of food is something that can capture the attention of anyone. At Lincoln High School we have a team of advanced culinary students who not only prepare food, they compete against students from other schools and present them to judges.
At the 13th Annual LPS Culinary Conference on Wednesday, November 15, 2017 the students made an entrance and created some extravagant plates. Culinary teacher Lovena Glantz who teaches the advanced culinary students during the day said, “This was a high pressure day, and we brought the sauce!”
The students who participated in this competition were sophomores Ariana Larson-Pool, Hanan Smogy, Gabriella Menezes da Silva, Mackenzie Warden-Pierce; and seniors Roman Pedroza, Layla Klipic and Haley Salazar. All of these students participated in plate presentations while presenting them to peers, judges and Channel 8 News who also did interviewing and taping. Under all the pressure that was brought upon them they tried their hardest and had fun while doing it.
Ariana Larson-Pool took first place in the Tapas competition.
Glantz added, “Please give a hearty ‘woot’ to these kids if you see them around!”
