October 22, 2009 Grand Rapids, MI – Grand Rapids Community College's Secchia Institute for Culinary Education is proud to announce the third biennial “Nations Cup” international culinary student competition, running from October 22-24 and featuring six teams hailing from Canada, Puerto Rico, Barbados, Scotland, the United States, and defending champions, Team Mexico.

The teams (consisting of two students and a coach) will compete for two full days in food categories including appetizers, salads, poultry, fish, shellfish, meat and game. In a high-pressure, timed format similar to the hit show “Iron Chef,” students will encounter a mystery box containing ingredients which the teams must feature.

Competition will culminate in a spectacular banquet finale at which guests will be treated to a six-course meal, with each course having been created by a different team and prepared in a style typical to that team’s native country.
