Plate of Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls — Jace's winning recipe, Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls

Recipes are judged each year on taste, healthiness, kid-friendliness, originality, ease of preparation, plate presentation, and student-chef presentations to the judges.

The winner at each district then moves on to a regional round with others across the nation. One winner is chosen at the end of the contest and named the National Champion. The winning recipe, along with three other student-created recipes, are added to school menus the following school year.
