IMS Chefs Win 2024 Mystery Box Competition with South of the Border Recipes

The IMS food services staff recently won first place in the 2024 Mystery Chef Competition organized by Pisanick Partners and Gordon Foods. The contest challenges school kitchen teams across Northeast Ohio to create an original menu using mystery ingredients. In early February, the IMS chefs Barb Basnett and Helena Casserlie received a box of surprise ingredients to incorporate into four dishes: a tex-mex soup, toasted pita wedges, chicken slaw, and a shaved veggie salad with quinoa. The duo was surprised this afternoon when they learned they were the winners!
