Sodexo, food-service provider for Monroe Public Schools, held its first Future Chefs competition in the Custer cafeteria and crowned Custer 2 student Willow Johnson the winner.  Elementary school students across the district were invited to submit their favorite after-school snack recipe.  From a large number received, they were whittled down to five recipes as finalists.  The six future chefs who submitted them were invited to come in and work with a Sodexo kitchen staff member to put together their recipes which were taste-tested by a group of judges.  Willow’s “Apple Nachos” was judged the winning recipe.  She won a large box of kitchen-related prizes and will represent Monroe County in Sodexo’s regional competition.  Other participants were Lilly Currier and Hayleigh Byrd, Custer 1; Quinstella Penick, Raisinville; Harrison Tyner, Manor; and Addyson Marlow, Waterloo. .
