As time strikes down, only 15 minutes remaining as Lisa Serna (11) and Gael Cunecar (11) hurry to finish their dish.

                                             With the minutes racing by faster than the speed of light, Gael Cuencar (11) almost ruins his dish in a sense of panic.

                                     Thinking quick on her feet, Lisa Serna (11) grabs the noodles from Gael Cuencar (11) and rushed to the sink to rinse them off.

 Though there is only 5 minutes left on the clock, Cody Miller (11) and Alison Meredith (11) had just started to mash their potatoes after a long few minutes of peeling.

               As his team finishes up their mashed potatoes, Andrew Geomiller (11) prepares to make his chicken nuggets, without so much as breaking a sweat.

                          As the time trickles down to 3 minutes, Angelina Ybarra (12) and Alexis Reynolds (11) test their meals before bringing it out to be judged. 

With only 30 seconds left, Lisa Serna (11) and Gael Cuencar (11) plate their meal trying to get all the finishing touches. “This is fabulous!” Gael Cuencar(11) says.

After all dishes were brought out and tasted by Ms. Alonso, Lisa Serna (11) and Guel Cuencar (11) won. The meal was so astonishing, Ms. Alonso asked the two what ingredients they used!

                        Once announced winners, Lisa Serna (11) ran to Ms. Tharp, asking “What do I get as a reward?!” to which she replied “a free 100”.

                   With the judging coming to an end all contestants went back to the kitchen to eat their well cooked meals. Cody Miller (11) was found washing his dirty dishes, so they’d be ready to be used the next day!
