Four culinary students at the Technical College of the Lowcountry turned their talent into three winning dishes and $9,000 in scholarships!
Fourteen TCL students put their skills and creativity to the test at the second annual US Foods TCL Chefs Table Student Culinary Competition, held October 8 at the Culinary Institute of the South in Bluffton.
Nearly 100 guests sampled original dishes, with Chefs Table VIP supporters selecting the winners:
• Appetizer: Asher Schagelin — Southern Spring Roll
• Entrée: Sophie Tomlinson — Autumn Chicken
• Dessert: Catherine Jones and Miracle Cuthbert — The Speakeasy Sponge
Each category carried a $3,000 scholarship award, with Jones and Cuthbert sharing the dessert prize.
The experience continues as the winners will receive personalized mentoring from professional chefs at The Sea Pines Resort to refine their dishes and prepare to serve them at the 8th Annual Chefs Table Benefit & Auction on November 19 at the Harbour Town Clubhouse!
Thank you to US Foods, The Sea Pines Resort and TCL Foundation donors for making these opportunities possible. Congratulations to our winners and all participating students!
