On Saturday, Oct. 19, four chefs took the stage in the JC food court for a cooking competition inspired by family foods.

The competitors were Mason President Ángel Cabrera; his wife, Dr. Beth Cabrera; owner of multiple restaurants in D.C. and Top Chef participant Mike Isabella; and Alyssa Hots, manager of Isabella's sandwich shop, G.

The teams were split with President Cabrera and Hots on one team, and Isabella and Beth Cabrera on the other: pitting husband and wife in a head to head "culinary clash." The foods were judged by a panel consisting of students and staff as an eager audience looked on the proceedings.
