Unquowa hosted our 2nd annual Iron Chef competition on October 29, 2010. Seven pairs of students faced off, competing with their own recipes that had to include at least one local ingredient. After two hours of cooking, the final dishes were judged on creativity, taste, overall presentation, and kid friendliness. The winners were 6th grader Paul and 7th grader Michael. The winning recipe the two boys prepared consisted of homemade sausage, chicken, potatoes, and onions- all roasted together, served with an antipasti of roasted red peppers, mozzarella, salami, and mixed spring greens.

The dish was served for lunch at Unquowa and was a big hit with the students. In addition, Paul and Michael appeared on Connecticut Style by WTNH on Tuesday January 25, 2011.
