Skills Secondary Competition

Today I volunteered as a runner for the Skills Secondary Competition. It is similar to the Skills Competition I competed in two weeks ago, but instead of black box ingredients, the competitors, who are not as experienced at this level, get a menu with recipes to follow and execute, along with a small parstock list to make the plates their own.
Tonight's menu was:
Appetizer: Fish Chowder
Entrée: Roasted Pork Tenderloin, Peppercorn Sauce, Maple Glazed Carrot Batonnet, Sautéed Spinach, Gratin Dauphinoise
Dessert: Carrot Cake with Fresh Fruit Garnish

A look at all five competitors' meals...

The winner will not be announced until the official Skills award ceremony next week. The top three were Competitors #2, #3, and #5. I was a runner for competitor #3.
