The recognition comes from four months of training by CIV’s competition team. Each Friday, the eight students of the CIV team would meet with their chef instructors to hone their skills with drills and mock competitions to prepare for this year’s event. This preparation helped the CIV teams keep their cool against competitors from two other culinary schools and a panel of 10 judges.
