Robert Morris University Illinois Culinary Students Selected for International Competition in Italy

Two students from the Robert Morris University School of Culinary Arts in Chicago were selected by Italian chefs to participate in a culinary competition in Rimini, Italy.

Chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) January 30, 2018

Making the cut for a student competition against difficult odds is an achievement in itself. When the odds are 11 out of 300, those who find themselves in the elite eleven also face a significant amount of pressure to succeed.

Robert Morris University (RMU) culinary students Ethan Zuk of Highland, Michigan and Morgan Nash from Aurora, Illinois will be facing such pressure when they participate in the World Association of Culinary Societies (WACS) and the Federazione Italiana Cuochi (Italian Chefs Federation, FIC) Campionati della Cucina Italiana 2018 in Rimini, Italy, February 12 through the 19th. They are two of eleven students from several different countries who will be competing against professional cooks and chefs in two events of the competition.

The “Campionati” (or championships) is part of larger food festival which draws attendance from around the world. This year’s event includes contests in hot and cold preparation, pastry, pastry art, confectionary for restaurants, live demonstrations, timed food preparation and best student recognition.

Ethan and Morgan were selected by Chef Andrea Trapani, executive chef of Apicius International School of Hospitality in Florence, based upon their performances at Apicius during their RMU study abroad internship in the fall. Shelley LaMantia, director of RMU’s International Studies, and Brad Hindsley, chair of RMU’s culinary program, have worked with both students in the RMU kitchens and in the classroom. “Chef Andrea explained that the Campionati event has students compete against professionals,” said Ms. LaMantia. “He says that since both Robert Morris and Apicius train students to become chefs, they should be competing against professional chefs.”

The students will arrive in Florence on February 12, go through orientation and prepare for the competition under the direction of Chef Hindsley and three Italian chefs at Apicius. They will drive to Rimini on February 19 for the event. Both Ethan and Morgan will compete in the “cold competition” and Morgan will participate in an additional event, pastry art, which is a contest that features creating sculpture with chocolate.

Presently, Ethan works part time at Tiki Terrace in DesPlaines, IL. He aims to get as much experience at different restaurants in the Chicago area and eventually run his own fine dining restaurant kitchen. Morgan works at The Art Institute for Bon Appetit Management and she hopes to travel after college, getting experience in the world of pastry, and eventually managing her own pastry team.

The students and chefs of the Robert Morris University School of Culinary Arts are planning an enthusiastic send off for Ethan and Morgan on February 6 at 9:30 a.m. in the RMU dining room.

Robert Morris University Illinois is a not-for-profit, accredited baccalaureate and graduate degree granting institution, serving students interested in getting an education in business, graphic arts, nursing and health care, culinary and computer studies at its main campus in Chicago, as well as at locations in Arlington Heights, DuPage, Elgin, Orland Park, Springfield, Peoria, Schaumburg and Lake County.
