2008 Hot Competition: Selkirk Cooking Students Take the Heat

Selkirk College Professional Cooking instructor Randy Davis is flanked by Sara Vickery (left) and Katie Foster, who won silver medals at this year's B.C. Chef's Association Hot Competition in Vancouver.

The contest draws talented cooks-in-training from most of the province's culinary programs. Davis, however, competed in the professional category, and also earned a silver medal, coming in second, ironically, to one of his former Selkirk College students.

"If you can't take home top honours yourself," Davis said, "it's at least gratifying to know that someone you once taught has more than benefited from your influence and training."
