Calling All Teen Culinary Leaders! Local Culinary High School Students Invited to Participate

Over the summer, local non-profit organization, Create A Change (CAC) in partnership with Honest Hospitality and with the guidance of Clark County School District (CCSD) Culinary teachers, has created an exciting opportunity for our future teen culinary leaders!

• High school students enrolled in Clark County School District (CCSD) culinary classes are invited to participate in a challenge to star in “The Future Chef Show”, a YouTube cooking show series focused on teaching families how to prepare seasonal healthy, affordable meals. 
• The Future Chef Show will showcase local chefs working with our next culinary leaders and highlight the good work our teachers are doing to provide excellent culinary training for our students. 
• Each show will feature a local guest chef who will be partnered with a winning CCSD high school culinary student. 
• Together at the chef’s restaurant they will create a delicious, nutritious dish while inspiring families to have fun together in the kitchen! 
• Student submissions are due by October 12, 2020 for final judging by local chefs.  
• Winners will be announced by the first week of November 2020.

The team is also creating a Culinary Teen Council. The goal of the council is to support CCSD students on their path into the culinary industry through professional development and networking opportunities.

Lisa Campbell, CEO for CAC said “CAC in partnership with Gary La Morte and Honest Hospitality is excited to expand our programming into the teen arena supporting our next generation of culinary leaders while creating enjoyable healthy food experiences for families with exceptional local Las Vegas chefs.
