Cooking with Atrisco Heritage Academy
Chef Mike is pleased to be the Chef Mentor for the Atrisco Heritage Academy High School Culinary Team. In 2019 Chef Danielle Young lead the team to be awarded second-place overall in state competition. Going into the third year of mentorship, they will be leading two teams to state competition looking for a strong repeat performance.
Competing with Students
The Holman's Foundation for Autism: Dine, Drive, and Donate
With help from students of the Atrisco Heritage and their Instructing Chef Danielle Young, Chef Mike brought home the Judge's Choice Win against stiff competition and award-winning chefs by presenting a local harvest plate featuring spice-rubbed tenderloin, Corrales pumpkin butter, Santa Fe greens, and a Chimayo corn hash.
Representing New Mexico
Chef Mike lead a team of some of New Mexico's best chefs to compete in Colorado at the "Pairsine" Wine Festival. With the strength of New Mexico chefs' passion for food and competition, they brought home the Judge's Choice Win. Always willing to throw down in the kitchen, we believe New Mexico Chefs have a brilliant intensity for cooking from-scratch and a pride that always brings us to the forefront of competition, never backing down from a culinary challenge.
