The Monroe College School of Hospitality Management and the Culinary Arts is proud to award Kerry Pace of Staten Island, NY the title of America's Best High School Chef. For her winning dish, the 18-year-old Tottenville, high school senior cooked up a scrumptious plate of chicken rollatini, tarragon mushrooms, roasted potatoes, and sauteed green beans. As a result of her achievement, Ms. Pace will receive a full scholarship to the Monroe College Culinary Arts Program and admission into the college's study abroad program in Italy. "Kerry's performance was outstanding," said Dean Frank Costantino, who was one of the judges of the competition. "Her plate was creative. She pan fried the chicken and stuffed it with mozzarella cheese. She executed and timed her precise game plan perfectly. This is a very important aspect of being a top-notch chef."
