EXECUTIVE CHEF BRENT GORMAN BRINGS HOME SILVER MEDAL
IN ACE COMPETITION
Executive
Chef Brent Gorman took second place in the annual ACE
competition that occurred on April 26, 2012 at the University of
Central Arkansas. Not only did he bring home a silver medal, he
was also the highest scoring silver medalist out of the three
regional competitions. Stephen Burns from Baylor University and
Juan Estrada from Southern Methodist University took first and
third place, respectively.
Chefs from universities around the region were given three hours
to prepare both an entr�e and dessert for three guest judges. To
make things a little more interesting, the chefs were given a
set of mystery ingredients at the start of the competition that
they had to incorporate into their dishes. The secret
ingredients for this competition were whole duck, pompano fish,
dried apricots, cashews, white northern beans, Boursin cheese,
beets and baby bok choy.
Winning chef Stephen Burns, along with the winners of the ACE
competitions held at the University of Houston and Southern
Methodist University, will represent the region at the national
competition in Florida in November. As the highest-scoring
silver medalist out of the three regional competitions, Chef
Gorman will act as the first alternate if any of the chefs are
unable to compete.
