See you at the first ever 2019 Spuds and Dairy Culinary Cup

When it comes to potatoes never discriminate! Mashed, roasted, fried, or stewed, its easy to create a delicious dish from our favorite spuds! 

Same goes with dairy. There's milk, cheese, ice cream, yogurt, butter. The list is endless!

I am excited to find out that Potatoes USA and Real California Milk have partnered to bring us the first ever. 2019 Spuds and Dairy Culinary Cup! The best of the best in the local culinary world will gather to make the most creative and delicious potato and dairy dishes. That is quite a treat! 

The 2019 Spuds and Dairy Culinary Cup will be held on Friday, September 6, 2019 at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall from 1:00PM--4:00PM. Admission is free! 

The exciting competition pits teams made of a professional chef and a top culinary student together to come up with their best potatoes and dairy dishes. Teams will be provided all the necessary tools and equipment, but would have to shop for their own ingredients. A wide array of U.S. potato and California dairy products will be made available to all the contestants.

The chef will not be permitted to cook, but can only plan, mentor and oversee dish development with his partner student. Execution will all be in the hands of the culinary student. Teams will need to load up on their creative juices as categories and special ingredients will be revealed just before the competition.

The board of judges will be comprised of renowned chefs and culinary experts from Potatoes USA and the California Milk Advisory Board.

Prizes for the winning team are quite an inspiration. The pair who wins Best Potato Dish will each walk away with a cool Php 100,000 cash prize. Meanwhile, the winners of the Best Dairy Dish will hop on a plane for an all-expense paid trip to the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley, California for a three-day immersion program.

Here are the 10 pairs participating in the cook-off:
