Our Culinary Arts & Hospitality students participated in an MRE challenge organized by local Army National Guard members. MREs, or Meals Ready-to-Eat, are complete self-contained meals provided to the US Armed Forces. Despite their convenience, MREs are often criticized for their lack of flavor. The students were divided into groups, each receiving an MRE, and were tasked with elevating the taste of the randomly assigned meal. They had a strict one-hour time limit to plate their creations before presenting them to the judges—SSG Paye, SSG Arrants, and SSG Caswell. The judges evaluated the groups based on their utilization of all MRE components, their creativity, taste, and presentation skills.
