Who is the best PB Chef? You be the judge. Six Teams of students have worked
together to research and develop a cupcake recipe that is not only delicious, but also
contains multiple superfoods! Their goal? To create the most delectable food-on-astick. They have tested and refined their recipe, using at least one locally sourced
ingredient to compete against one another in our Food Truck Inspired Culinary
Clash! This year we have divided our competition into two categories: sweet and
savory.
