For this challenge the chefs are once again divided up into individuals and will be this way for the rest of the competition. In the budgeting challenge, each chef will try to create a dish that can sell at a high price with the lowest cost possible. The goal is to flip the dish for the most profit. Chefs will shop at a local supermarket for indigents they will need in order to create their dishes. Each chef will have a $20 budget cap. The chefs don’t have to use the entire amount but they must not exceed their limit. Then the chefs will have 1 hour to prep and cook their dishes. The purpose of this challenge is to see if the chefs can assess their spending and create a budgeting system that works for them. After the hour mark, the judge will examine each dish for creativity, execution, and skill. Next, he will decide the appropriate amount that each dish can be sold for. To determine a winner, we subtract the awarded price with the actual cost of the dish. The dish with the highest profit margin wins.
