The Meat Science Club gathered for its first Chopped Challenge, Nov. 12, 2019. Students were given random ingredients to cook an appetizer in 40 minutes and an entree in one hour. The random ingredients that were required to be in the dishes included: ground beef, strip steaks, Dorothy Lynch dressing, broccoli, and pork rinds. Each dish was tasted and scored after the judges listened to each team describe its dish. Undergraduates Dakota Lovett and Avery Vieregger were named the winners with a slider appetizer and a taco entree. Meat Science Club thanks Gary Sullivan and Sherri Pitchie for judging the contest and hopes to host another Chopped Challenge this spring that is open to any willing participants.
