On Sunday, January 25, two teams from Whitewater High School competed in the 2nd Annual Culinary Showdown, and WHS was well represented.

The WHS girls’ team was made up of Payton Brautigam, Kiana Aranda, Jazlin Rios, and Natalia Casillas. They were assigned the country of Italy and paired with Chef Stephan from the Delavan Yacht Club. These girls put together a beautiful dish of Braciole with Pappardelle noodles in a homemade ragu sauce. It was amazing. 

The WHS guys’ team consisted of Oz Navejas, David Enns, and Alex Huicochea Balderrama. They were paired with Chef Nic from Lake Lawn Resort, and their assigned country was Germany. They prepared Obatzda Pretzel Sliders. The Whitewater Germany Team won the German title!

We are extremely proud of both teams and very grateful to our chefs for helping and guiding our students. The teams are coached by Ms. Lynn Weilbrenner.
