LEAMINGTON, ON – It doesn’t take an experienced chef to bring the heat in the kitchen.

Just ask one of eight young contestants who participated in the first annual Sliced Leamington. In true SUNSET® form, the contest brought innovation and flavor to the Leamington SUNSET® Tomato Festival, engaging contestants as well as attendees.

Hosted and judged by Food Network chef Roger Mooking, chefs between grades 6-12 sliced, diced, and cooked their hearts out at the sold-out event, with a mystery box of ingredients, a full pantry, and just 30 minutes on the clock. Vying for cash prize of $500-$2,000, these young chefs left it all on the table!
