Perseverance is on the Menu as Connecticut and Michigan Teams Capture National Culinary and Restaurant Management Titles in Washington, D.C.

Washington, D.C. – May 5, 2023 High school teams from Plymouth Canton Educational Park in Canton, Michigan, and Wilbur Cross High School in New Haven, Connecticut, battled 400 fellow competitors to take home national championship titles, with the top ten teams receiving nearly $200,000 in scholarships at this week’s 2023 National ProStart Invitational (NPSI). The event featured a show-stopping display of culinary talent and restaurant business acumen by over 90 of the country’s best and brightest high school teams from 46 states. All students competing in the 2023 National ProStart Invitational earned their place by winning their state-level ProStart Invitational competitions.

2023 National ProStart Invitational logoThe National ProStart Invitational is a high-stakes competition between some of the best culinary and restaurant management students in the country. Students on the culinary teams had 60 minutes to prepare a three course, fine dining menu, using only two butane burners and no running water. The management teams persuaded a panel of judges that their innovative restaurant business pitches had the chops to succeed in the real world. Find the media kit here.

Plymouth Canton Educational Park in Canton, Michigan, went head-to-head against 45 fellow teams, earning the culinary title with a menu of soy-marinated tuna as a starter, strip steak and braised short rib with potato dauphinoise and puree. They completed their menu with a dessert of coconut Bavarian with orange-almond cake.

Wilbur Cross High School in New Haven, Connecticut, defended their Nafas Kitchen concept in front of a panel of industry judges, capturing the restaurant management competition that included 45 other teams. The concept featured a casual restaurant envisioned as a place for advocacy, change, and community with dishes from Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and the Levant region.

“This year’s National ProStart Invitational winners delivered exciting results when they brought creativity, passion, and initiative to the table,” said Michelle Korsmo, President & CEO of the National Restaurant Association and CEO of the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation. “The individuality of the students shines through in each culinary submission. And throughout the management competitions, we saw students with strong business acumen design thriving restaurant organizations. These competitors are the best of the best, and I know they will inspire other students to take a chance, create something new, and be part of this amazing restaurant community.” 

“The passion and talent displayed by this week’s National ProStart Invitational competitors was truly awe-inspiring, giving us a front row seat to the next generation that will shape our industry,” said NRAEF President Rob Gifford. “Thanks to the daily work of our educators, ProStart is equipping these students with crucial career-building skills that will enhance their lives in the industry, or wherever their futures take them.”
