Their winning presentation was themed "European Infusion" and Beef Tri Tip was the centerpiece of their entry. The annual Reinhart Inter-Collegiate Beef Culinary Contest is co-sponsored by the Iowa Beef Industry Council and Reinhart Foodservice.

"Teams were asked to create a fine dining experience that includes a beef appetizer and beef entrée using the Beef Tri-Tip. The creative recipes and appetizing presentation the teams come up with is always amazing," said Baumhover. Chef Brad Scott coached the winning team from SCC and said the competition gives the students the chance to cook under pressure and learn about working as a team in the kitchen. "This competition is really about coming together as a team to put forth the best dining experience possible. It is a great hands-on exercise in timing, teamwork and presentation," said Scott. Winning team members include: Brad Gomez and Lisa Lema of Bettendorf, Iowa and Chris Brobson, Amber Allen and Greg Daack all of Rock Island, Illinois.
