With daily elimanations, there were only 3 contestants remaining on Friday morning. With 2 hours to prepare a four course meal, Jenna. Deevan and Sips had the judges licking their lips after each tasting. With a long deliberation the judges returned with a winner ......... Congratulations to Varsity college / Hirsch’s first Master Cook, Jenna Starr.

Tasha from Tasha’s fudge will be representing Hirschs in competing against winner Jenna Starr representing Varsity College in the Hirsch PMB store in the near future.
