ROTTERDAM Students see whose cuisine is supreme Club holds ‘Iron Chef’ competition BY JUSTIN MASON Gazette Reporter
Corin Noga winced and Lauren Chrysler immediately dipped a fork into the remaining bowl of the duo’s pasta concoction as their competitors began describing their dish to the panel judges. They had prepared similar dishes in some respects; both had cooked linguine with broccoli and both had liberally seasoned their recipes with fresh garlic, the main ingredient of choice for Schalmont Middle School’s version of “Iron Chef.” But as eighth-grade classmates Dominic Toma and Jordan Vanosky finished their description, Corin and Lauren immediately realized that they had forgotten an ingredient in their haste to finish in time. “The lemon adds a zing, and the Parmesan cheese complements the whole dish,” Dominic said proudly — and to the sudden chagrin of his competitors. The Parmesan cheese, mumbled Corin after sampling a bite. They had forgotten to add the Parmesan cheese.
