GCC at the Heart of the Core
by the GCC Organizers
Few are aware that all the events in the Grand Culinary Challenge (GCC) are run mostly by students. “Mostly” students because some of them have already graduated but continue to serve whenever needed.
This group of “mostly” students are the ones who oversee the Ingress of contestants. They are the ones who time and manage the competitions, who coordinate and report to the Board of Judges and who generally run the simultaneous events unfolding in the Grand Culinary Challenge every minute. They are called the CORE for a reason.

The most important thing we’ve put into consideration was that each recipe we will submit to GCC must not only be creative but easy enough for a student to execute under pressure of competition.
