Hawaii-Kapi’olani Community College Student Team Wins 2017 ACF Western Region Student Team Championship St. Augustine, Fla., March 3, 2017—Hawaii-Kapi’olani Community College Student Team from Honolulu, Hawaii, won the American Culinary Federation (ACF) Western Region Student Team Championship at the ACF Central and Western Region Culinary Salon held at Joliet Junior College, Joliet, Illinois. Team members Richard Lee, Sean Uyeharo, Christian Rae Wong, Sam Tam, Jeremy David and Kimberly Lim were coached by Jason Peel. The team had the highest overall score and received a gold medal. The ACF Student Team Championship, sponsored by Vitamix®, is designed to raise the standards of culinary excellence and professionalism among students, promote camaraderie and educational opportunities and act as a staging area for research and development of culinary concepts. To compete at the regional level, teams must first win local and state competitions. “Competition is always a big deal for our school,” said Peel. “For me, it's not just the thrill of competing and the hope of winning, it's the skills and confidence the students acquire throughout the journey and the relationships that they make with their fellow team members. It's an opportunity of a lifetime and an experience to cherish.” The teams prepared four portions of a pre-assigned classical fish starter, Filets de Sole Lady Egmont; salad; entrée, as well as two appropriate side dishes to accompany the entree, from Escoffier: The Complete Guide to the Art of Modern Cookery (Le Guide Culinaire version); and dessert. Winning Menu:   

Filet de Sole Lady Egmont Lobster salad with lobster “roll,” sweet corn pudding, avocado, apple, cucumber, tomato jam and yuzu dressing Roasted chicken breast with smoked bacon and chicken mousse, butternut and bacon takoyaki, braised daikon, truffle celery root purée and red wine Szechuan pepper sauce



Chocolate textures with tropical fruit accents, dark chocolate and coffee ganache, white chocolate vanilla mousse, chocolate powder, sea salt brownie, chocolate streusel, milk chocolate air cremeux, ginger syrup-macerated Brunoise banana and lilikoi sherbet
