A new favorite among 4-H’rs participating in the Ellis County Fair is the Food Challenge.

Similar to the television show “Chopped” on the Food Network, contestants have a limited time to create a “delish dish” from ingredients unknown to the young chefs until it’s time to start.

Mike Koerner of Eagle Community Television visited Thursday morning with Ellis Sunflowers 4-H Food Leader Kim Befort and some excited 4-H’rs:

A second 4-H Food Challenge will take place Friday morning 10 a.m.-12 p.m. in the  Deutschfest Hall & Unrein Family Building Kitchen.
