During this competition, the team was required to prepare a three-course meal in under one hour. The team's meal was then judged by a panel of judges, which consisted of chefs and restaurant owners. Throughout this completion the team was also expected to cut a chicken into eight parts, showing their knife skills.

Mini Mardi Gras held at SFHS Miguel Jimenez SFHS Dallas Smith Spanish Fork High School's French Club threw a Mardi Gras party in the commons at SFHS. Mardi Gras or carnival season (in English) refers to the events of the Carnival celebrations beginning on or after Epiphany and ending on the day before Ash Wednesday. Mardi Gras is French for Fat Tuesday. This is when they would eat richer, fatty foods before the fasting of Lent, which starts Ash Wednesday. New Orleans is famous for its Mardi Gras celebrations and size of parties. Although the French Club celebrated slightly differently, they still had a traditional king cake and participated in a pancake eating contest, won by Devrick Luckau, a sophomore at SFHS. They had many other games and food. Prizes were given to winners of the different games. They also crowned a Mardi Gras king and queen, Trevor Long and Whitney Hughes, which was determined by a marble or in this case jawbreakers in two different slices of the king cake. Long and Hughes were given their prizes and got to run through the Mardi Gras banner. The French Club enjoyed their miniature^Mardi Gras. |
