After School Matters’ culinary teens will compete against one another creating unique recipes with Kellogg products. Chefs Gail Gand, former host of the Food Network’s “Sweet Dreams” and 2001 James Beard Award winner, and Martial Noguier, Executive Chef and Owner of Bistronomoic and two-time James Beard nominee, are two of the notable culinary artists who served as the teens’ mentors to prepare them for the competition, with other well-known guests serving as judges like Amanda Puck, Strategic Brand Manager for Mariano’s, former host of WTTW 11 "Check, Please"' and two-time Emmy Award Winner selecting the winning dishes.
Winning dishes will go on to the second round of the competition which will take place on Tuesday, August 2 at the Kellogg Naperville headquarters. Teens will tour the facility and listen to a panel of Kellogg chefs share their stories and career paths.
