Stafford ProStart is competing with 15 schools from around Kansas today - other teams include Chapman High School, Wichita East, Manhattan, Labette County, Broadmoor Bistro, Andover, Campus, Wichita North, Gardner Edgerton, Olathe Advanced Technical Center, Wichita Heights, Maize Career Academy, Eudora DeSoto Technical Center, Wichita South, and Eisenhower High School.
Awesome job ProStart students! Many positive comments from judges! The plates look beautiful! Congratulations on a job well done - the extra time and effort you put in really shows.
The Stafford High School ProStart Team has begun the competition process. Students checked in at 10:00 am. They have 10 minutes to retrieve their ingredients, followed by a 5 minute menu introduction, 20 minute Mise en Place (preparation) time, then the 60 minute competition begins. Students are preparing a 3 course gourmet meal including pan-seared scallops with a celery root purée, topped with a quick pickled apple, celery leaf dressed with a light lemon vinaigrette, and maple-bourbon bacon. The entree features locally produced, thick cut ribeye steak, dry aged for 28 days, accompanied by smashed red potatoes with Gouda and horseradish. The final component of the meal is the raspberry-chocolate-avocado mousse served in a lacy chocolate cup with sweetened whipped cream and fresh raspberries. Our Senior ProStart team is comprised of Evelin Valadez, Chloe Lauridsen, Tyson Pettijohn, and Shawn Burgey, III.
4 senior culinary students are in Wichita today to compete in the ProStart culinary competition. Good luck Chloe, Evelin, Shawn, and Tyson.
