The biennial Hawaiʻi<\/span> Culinary Competition Expo and Salon was held on Friday, December 12, at Kapiʻolani<\/span> Community College<\/a>. The event, part of the Lyle L. Guslander Distinguished ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ors Program in Advanced Food Service and Hospitality Education, showcased student and professional talent through hot and cold food competitions. Because this competition is sanctioned by the American Culinary Federation<\/a> (ACF<\/abbr>), certified chefs from the ACF<\/abbr> were brought to Hawaiʻi<\/span> to serve as judges.<\/p>\n

Chef and Professor Alan Tsuchiyama<\/strong>, coordinator of the event said, “I am grateful to work with, and have the support of, the dedicated faculty and staff of our culinary department which, without their help, this amazing show of culinary talent would not be possible.”<\/p>\n

Viewers walking through the cold food salon saw intricate and delicate designs, like Josielyn Agas’s ivy vines on her Pastillage Lighthouse, which won a gold medal. Professional Chef David Brown’s, A Christmas Elf, was a crowd pleaser with incredible detail and color enhancements. For the hot food salon, Sharmaine Butac displayed her Tilapia Mousseline Roulade, which won her a gold medal, as did Wing Yin Luk for her Beurre Blanc Poached Fresh Water Tilapia.<\/p>\n

For the team competition, Kapiʻolani<\/span> Community College’s Team 1 won the silver medal, and Team 2 won the gold medal. Team Hawaiʻi<\/span> will emerge from these two teams and will represent Hawaiʻi<\/span> during the ACF<\/abbr> regional competition in March 2015 at Las Vegas, Nevada.<\/p>\n

The many sponsors of this event were HFM<\/abbr> Food Service<\/a>, Kyo-ya Hotels and Resorts<\/a>, Starwood Hotels and Resorts<\/a> and Sheraton Waikīkī Hotel<\/a>. <\/p>\n
