Justin Wins for Best Tasting Healthy Entree

Here Justin and his friend Tyer man their presentations making sure they are ready for the judges at all times.
Here one of the judges tastes Justin's chowder. This particular judge as well as another judge came back twice to taste the chowder. Justin also had to answer questions about what was in the recipe, how he put it together, and why he chose this recipe. Justin was sure to tell them that the reason he chose to add halibut to the recipe was because his Dad, Jake, brought it back from Alaska.
Justin recieving the award, a set of culinary tools of his very own, in addition to quite a few other prizes.

America'a Next Top Chef Is....

Justin entered a cooking contest at school. The total entries were over 100 and Justin and the others here were chosen to be finalists in the Canby School District cooking contest representing their school, 91 School. Justin is in front kneeling beside the 91 School Bulldog. Justin's recipe was Clam Chowder with Alaskan Halibut.
Here is Justin and the group in the kitchen cooking...Justin is the one with the red shirt tails hanging out.
Justin is getting sanitized to be ready to cook.
I think maybe he's talking some smack here...what do you think?! Justin was told that presentation was a part of who would win and here is his bowl of Clam Chowder with Alaskan Halibut, a few choice decorations and the slow cooker behind to keep the chowder warm for the judges.
