Culinary Team Wins Bronze Medals

Building on the third place finish of the Knowledge Bowl Team, the Culinary Team members (Ted Hastings, Captin; Amanda Emerson; Joseph White; Kellie Smith; and Sarabeth Cox; Chef Jay Mahoney, Coach) were awarded bronze medals for there performance at the 2009 Amecian Culinary Federation Northeast Regional.

Eight teams competed in the event. Pennsylvania Culinary Institute won the competition and Hocking Community College (Nelsonville, Ohio) was second. The standings were announced at the Vice Presidents Gala Monday night.

Medals are award to teams reaching an industry competition standard. Some culinary competitions are won with only one team receiving enough points to be awarded a medal. However, this year's Regional fielded a very talented group of teams, and Pierpont was very proud to have received a score between 28-31.99 out of 40 to qualify for a bronze medal.

Congratulations to the Culinary and Knowledge Bowl Teams on a very solid performance in Boston.
