Meet the dynamic student chefs from Berkmar High School who wowed judges with their Chicken Churrasco Bowl.

Guided by Chef Preston Gouge, a former Gwinnett County student and regional student chef competition winner who returned to the classroom with a passion for giving back, the team brought flavor, culture, and heart to the 2025 Student Chef Competition.

Their reflections reveal that the experience was about more than cooking; it was about preparing them for life.
