Having your local teenager cook dinner might evoke images of macaroni and cheese and pot brownies, but at the Art Institute of California's annual Best Teen Chef Competition, high-school aged kids whip up dishes that put mom's meatloaf to shame.
Sponsored by International Culinary School at The Art Institute of California, the competition draws teen chefs from across the U.S. and Canada to flambé, sauté, and chiffonade their way to victory. More than 30 participating Art Institute locations (including our very own San Francisco campus) host a cook-off portion of the competition on March 14, 2009. The local winners advance to the National Best Teen Chef Final Round Competition, held on Saturday, May 9, 2009 at The Art Institute of Charlotte.
The big winner walks away with a full-tuition scholarship, the title of Best Teen Chef, and oh! my! god! the national first place winner, in partnership with Food Network, will be an "Intern for a Day" at Food Network Kitchens in New York City. AHHHHHHH!!! If only we looked 16 to 18 years old! The winner will also receive a tour of Food Network's studios, dinner for two at a Food Network chef's restaurant, and a library of Food Network Kitchens cookbooks.
If we could turn back time…
Follow the jump for more details.
To be eligible to enter the Competition, first submit a completed Entry & Release form by February 6, 2009 to a participating Art Institutes school offering a Culinary Arts program. The school you choose is the location you plan to attend, and will be the location you will represent if you progress in the Competition. Next, by February 20, 2009, submit to the same school a recipe in standardized recipe format, an optional original photo of the prepared recipe, a copy of your current high school transcript, and a 250-word essay explaining why you would like to study culinary arts at one of The Art Institutes schools.

Gun-toting, sexting, wannabe gangster teens can f**k off. We hate you and your lame lifestyles. None of you understand that you need to shut the f**k up when I'm talking and get your lame-ass Acura out of my parking space.
I have a feeling the type of teens you reference will not be participating.
Let's hear it for the nerdy, non-gun toting, souffle-whipping-up teens.
Your use of a LazyTown still must be commended.

Hope they did their cooking by the book.
