Student chefs will battle it out this Saturday for the title of Iron Chef PSU in the fifth annual Iron Chef Competition . <\/p>\n
The event is free and open to public and will run from 1:30 to 4 p.m. It will be held in the Hintz Family Alumni Center, although the actual cooking will take place in the Henderson Building. A live video feed will be shown in the family center for the public to watch while the chefs compete. <\/p>\n
The chefs will work as teams to create multiple dishes in hopes of impressing the judges. This year, a total of nine teams have entered into the competition. <\/p>\n
Before being allowed to compete, each team had to raise at least $100 to be donated to the State College Area Food Bank . <\/p>\n
The teams will be given one hour to create multiple dishes for the judges. The food will be judged on taste, appearance and overall creativity. <\/p>\n
The chefs are also required to incorporate a secret ingredient into each dish that will be given to them at the start of the competition, Wendy Stein (graduate student- nutrition) said. <\/p>\n
It will be a fun experience to watch the different chefs cook with the unique ingredient, she said. <\/p>\n
The event is sponsored by the Nutrition Graduate Student Association, which first organized the competition in 2008. <\/p>\n
Maureen Spill , former president of NGSA, was the brains behind the operation at the time. <\/p>\n
