Glenrock High School Culinary Team Outstanding At Disney World
It's considered one of the happiest places on earth and for the Glenrock High School culinary team, it was that and more.

The Glenrock team had an incredible finish in session 3 'Europe'
- Winning 1st place Main Dish
- 3rd place side dish
- 3rd place overall
- and was even awarded the Chef's Choice Award.
The team's entrée was: Spanish grilled shrimp with parmesan sauce and fried potatoes
On the award, she autographed and wrote a note saying
Beautifully presented - elegant and flavorful
When she was presenting the award, Anne said
I have to say, the sauce on this dish, I think, is one of the most delicious that I've tasted this weekend and I have gone out to restaurants.
What an accomplishment and huge opportunity for the kids involved with the team. Anyone that's every put any effort into cooking, knows just how hard, frustrating and fulfilling it is to be recognized for your work.
To be one of the top award winners at a competition at Disney World and be called out by an elite national chef, that's simply priceless.
Congratulation to all the kids, culinary instructor Richard Hopper, staff and families for a HUGE job well done. Good luck in your future culinary adventures.
