The following are the Culinary Challenge winners:

      • 2nd Place: Chantilly Academy, Mediterranean Chicken Kabobs with Orzo Salad
      • 3rd Place, Herndon High School, Carne Asada Tacos with Asian Slaw

MightyMeals is proud to have teamed up with the Real Food for Kids: Chefs Feeding Families initiative and since April has donated close to 2,000 MightyMeals to families across the DC metro area. 

Starting July 27, MightyMeals is also featuring the 3rd Place recipe on their menu as a fundraiser. 50% of the proceeds from the Real Food for Kids Carne Asada Steak will go to Real Food for Kids Chefs Feeding Families Initiative.
