Fleming College Culinary student Mayank Mohandas has punched his ticket to the National Culinary Federation (CF) Competition in Niagara Falls after taking the top spot in the CF Central Region Chef’s Challenge Competition, announced on Friday.
Mayank is in his fourth semester of the Culinary Management program. He was joined at the March competition by fellow students Josh Massie and alumna Sophie Crowder.
Competitors had to break down a chicken and then turn four portions of it into an entrée.
The National Junior Chef Competition at the CF Conference runs from June 4 to June 8.
Crowder placed third in the Central Regional competition and is now a support team member on Senior Team Canada. They are competing in Luxembourg later this year.
