California Junior Chef Cooking Challenge

Aspiring Junior Chefs and their Grown-Up Sous Chefs are invited to participate
in a live cooking challenge at the California State Fair. This competition
spotlights the creative culinary talent of California’s youth. Grown-Up Sous
Chefs provide guidance and mentoring and act only as an assistant during the
on-stage cooking and judging. Junior Chefs plan a recipe ahead of time then
prepare their dishes onstage in the Cooking Theatre in front of a live fair
audience and a panel of qualified Judges.
