2018年St. Philip’s 大学 Best Tasting Salsa Scholarship Competition, the premiere heat 和 all you all you can (politely) eat event in 圣安东尼奥’s $4 billion tourism community 和 a one-hour judged 萨尔萨舞 specialty food contest for two-person teams of local high school student chefs from La Vernia 纪念, 南圣, 东中央, Poteet, 麦迪逊, O ' conner, Southside, 阿拉莫的高度, 塞缪尔·克莱门斯 和 塔夫脱高中 代表着圣安东尼奥价值40亿美元的旅游业, had the following order of finish in the Turbon Student Center at the college’s 马丁·路德·金大道1801号 campus, 组织者宣布:

La Vernia is the first team to earn both first place 和 people’s choice status in a single season, 组织者说. The event was completely packed with 萨尔萨舞 tasters experiencing every combination from the fiery traditional to a pomegranate suitable as a fine dining course.

比尔·巴克(Bill Barker)在塔夫脱大学指导烹饪艺术项目. One of his 2018 alumni who was a competitor on Taft's 2017 Salsa Contest team---Joel Commerford---is a current student within St. 菲利普的大学's Tourism, Hospitality 和 Culinary Arts department.

"He 和 his teammate worked hard to create an award-winning 萨尔萨舞. They seemed to have no fear when it came to food production 和 entry into other contest opportunities,巴克说。.

What traditionally distinguishes the 萨尔萨舞s that 萨尔萨舞 fans show their love for every season of Best Tasting Salsa is that the 萨尔萨舞s are from a region where the family 和 commercial traditions of 萨尔萨舞 making extend centuries deep, 和 new generations create the authentic 萨尔萨舞s of the future during the contest in 300-year-old 圣安东尼奥. 所有的萨尔萨酱都是在圣. 菲利普学院在比赛日的校园, 和 students must be in competitive condition to produce the excellence expected by judges, 厨师教练和美食家. There is never a take-out option for this special event where admission, 萨尔萨舞, 薯条和餐巾纸是免费的. All visitors have to bring for an optimal experience is a sense of inquiry 和 fun at the 萨尔萨舞 stations operated by the visiting high school competitors.

The college’s signature Hispanic Heritage Month event is education oriented 和 has featured local chefs as judges for 11 years. 因为配料是新鲜的, the 萨尔萨舞s did not convey the complex mature taste often associated with marinating 萨尔萨舞s 和 their ingredients for 72 hours or more, which organizers take into account as part of the competitive process. Intensive preparation time with all-fresh ingredients began at 10 a.m. 桌子从早上11点到11点20分摆好.m. preceded the judging 和 public viewing 和 sampling that occurred at 12:15 p.m.
