CMC's Student Culinary Team, representing CMC Culinary Institute and the Keystone Resort Apprenticeship program, won third place and earned a silver medal (based on a point system) at the American Culinary Federation Western Region Culinary Salon held March 17-18 at Orange Coast Community College.
Over the two-day competition, the team competed in a basic skills relay where four of the team members are randomly selected to execute a series of basic culinary techniques such as knife cuts and cutting a whole chicken into pieces to be used for different recipes. The second phase of the competition consist of producing four portions of a signature menu in 1.5 hours.
The team is given one required course by the national competition committee that all the teams must produce. The teams also develop three other courses. This year's required menu item was oeuffs a la neige (Snow Eggs) - poached meringue served with vanilla custard sauce. The team would like to send a special thanks to The Seattle Fish Company and Red Bird Farms Chicken for their sponsorship of the team.
The team earned the privilege of representing Colorado in the region competition by winning the state competition, held at the CMC Breckenridge Campus in December. CMC Culinary Institute team holds back-to-back state championships.
"My career ambitions were solely within the outdoor industry. With the chance to combine my personal and professional values, I knew the program and CMC were the right choices for me. While the location in Steamboat Springs, CO was a perk, the program professors helped my career path the most."

Three Colorado Mountain College professional photography students have received high praise for their work from the international College Photographer of the Year contest. The contest received thousands of entries this year from over 600 students worldwide. Seven judges, from National Geographic magazine to Nikon, gathered at the University of Missouri during four days in November to select the winning images.
Receiving a Bronze prize in the Interpretive Eye category was Claire Clarke’s “The Gateway.” Clarke is working toward an associate degree in professional photography. She captured her image at Cap K Ranch up the Fryingpan River near Basalt.
“A Dedication to Bridger Reese,” by current full-time CMC professional photography student Lynzee Dorrenbacher, won an Award of Excellence in the Sports Features category. Dorrenbacher took the shot at a high school football game in Akron, Colo., as players carried the jersey of a teammate who was severely injured during a game.
Shannon Outing captured her image, “Sunrise on the Marsh,” while fly fishing for redfish in Venice, La., which earned an Award of Excellence in the Interpretive Eye category. Outing graduated from CMC’s professional photography program last summer.
The college’s Professional Photography Program is under the umbrella of CMC’s Isaacson School.
A local ban on plastic bags is the mission of Janell Togno and her Sustainability Studies project. She's trying to move the Glenwood Springs City Council to adopt a ban as have Carbondale and Basalt.
