Teams from residential dining halls began competing in the first University Dining Chef's Challenge, according to University Relations.
Last night, the Newcomb team prepared a meal. The next round will be held at Runk, followed by the contest's conclusion at Observatory Hill Wednesday.
The meals will have a theme with "mystery" or "challenge" ingredients.
The teams have three hours to prepare each meal. Then, a panel of judges comprised of University students and administrators will rate the meals based on execution of the given theme, creativity, presentation, flavor and the use of "challenge" ingredients, University Relations reported.
"We adapted the idea of the Iron Chef competition to suit our needs and add excitement to our dining program," Brian Murtagh, executive chef for U.Va. Dining told University Relations.
The awards ceremony will be held Thursday.
