Published on: November 9, 2015

WHAT:
This fast-paced competitive cook-off will put the culinary skills of four Husson University student teams to the test.

The winning team will receive a gift card to an area restaurant. There will also be prizes for the second and third place teams. In addition, Members of the audience will be eligible to receive food and gift certificates from Dominos, McDonalds and Governor’s Restaurant.
