On February 8-9, 2008, the NYS Restaurant Association
Educational Foundation hosted its 4th Annual ProStart Competition at
The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. The competition
was a two
tiered experience and schools had the opportunity to participate
in the
Culinary Competition and/or the Management-Knowledge Bowl.
Teams participating in the culinary competition
demonstrated their creative abilities through the preparation of a
three-course meal in 60 minutes. Their performance of culinary
skill sets during the practical session was observed and rated by
judges who are recognized industry leaders and educators.
Teams participating in the management competition
demonstrated their management knowledge of the restaurant and
foodservice industry by competing in two different events. In
the case study, students were tested on their communication
skills and their ability to apply their knowledge of the
restaurant and foodservice industry to practical situations. The
second portion of the competition, the quiz bowl, was a question and answer
"Jeopardy" style event.
