What Keeps Austin Weird?<\/p>\n

Southwest-Asian Fusion Cuisine, For One Thing<\/p>\n

Texas School for the Deaf Hosts 6th Annual Deaf Culinary Bowl Competition<\/strong><\/p>\n

March 7, 2015<\/p>\n

Austin, Texas \u2013 March 5, 2015 \u2013 Similar to the reality television show \u201cIron Chef\u201d, the Texas School for the Deaf (TSD) is proud to host the 6th Annual Deaf Culinary Bowl \u2013 a culinary competition for high school students from across America who are deaf and hard of hearing, March 7, at the Art Institute of Austin (AIA).<\/p>\n

With Southwest-Asian Fusion as the challenge theme, three courses – each created around one special ingredient – are submitted for judging before a five-star panel of distinguished Austin chefs \u2013 Executive Chef, Mark Dayanandan from the downtown Hilton Austin, Sway\u2019s Executive Chef, Alexis Chong, and AIA\u2019s Certified Executive Chef and Instructor, David Holtzman.<\/p>\n

This Saturday, students from California School for the Deaf-Riverside, Missouri School for the Deaf, and TSD will be facing the 2014 Deal Culinary Bowl champions from California School for the Deaf\u2013Fremont.<\/p>\n

The competition begins at 9:00 am, March 7, at the Art Institute of Austin – located at 101 West Louis Henna Boulevard in Round Rock – following a full day of preparations, including a pickling workshop, and a few culinary stops which are well-known thanks to so many network TV food shows placing Austin on the world\u2019s culinary map.<\/p>\n

A visit here is certainly not complete without seeing – and tasting – what makes central Texas the culinary mecca it is now so famously known to be. Group outings to a few of the area\u2019s foodie hotspots also give these aspiring chefs the opportunity to sample an array of our Texas capitol city\u2019s local flavors.<\/p>\n

Upon arrival today, teams take in South Congress Avenue\u2019s First Thursday, and try some of the area\u2019s popular food trailers for lunch Friday.<\/p>\n

Then for dinner, after gathering their provisions at Whole Foods Market and readying each cook station at AIA, the group head\u2019s south to Crepe Crazy – a local Deaf family-owned business in nearby Dripping Springs Texas, and to \u201cdowntown Drippin\u2019\u201d for USDA organic, GMO-free frozen yogurt and homemade ice cream, compliments of The BIG Drip Ice Cream Parlor.<\/p>\n

Following the competition Saturday at AIA, everyone visits one of downtown Austin\u2019s largest state-of-the-art kitchens to take in a tour and enjoy a spectacular sugar demonstration with chefs at the Hilton Austin. Then finally, the ultimate foodie experience is capped off with a celebration, featuring none other than good ol\u2019 Texas pit BBQ at the Salt Lick in Driftwood.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe welcome the out-of-town teams to Austin, and to TSD – right in the heart of the famed South Congress district, says TSD Superintendent, Claire Bugen.<\/p>\n

We wish each competing team the best of luck in the 6th annual Deaf Culinary Bowl competition, and while here, Bugen continues, our mission is for our guests to experience first hand, what \u201cKeep Austin Weird\u201d is all about.\u201d<\/p>\n
