The culinary team, which consists of Deja Rae Stoddard, Kyle Walker, and Matt Phillips, won the ProStart Invitational at Culinard in Birmingham earlier this year. The head of the team is Chef Laura Rinsky.
The team will represent the state of Alabama against 47 other teams in the National ProStart Culinary Competition in Minneapolis, Minn., on May 5. This is the first time the state of Alabama will be represented in the national competition. A percentage of the proceeds from the honey-baked ham fundraiser will benefit the culinary team as it competes for the national title.
For more information, contact Rinsky at 205-821-2253 or email her at laura.rinsky@trussvillecityschools.com. The team can be followed on Twitter @htculinaryteam.
