Perhaps you have seen Jaqueline Ladziak (better known as Jack) around the Culinary Department? What you may not know is that she is the 2007 Best Teen Chef Competition champion. But just who is the Best Teen Chef?
Ladziak grew up in Lancaster, NY and her passion for cooking led her to look at several schools before she decided to come to The Art Institute of Pittsburgh. “I knew I wanted to go away for college and just really loved the atmosphere of AiP,” says Ladziak. “I really liked the fact that it is an art school and felt that I would get a more well rounded education here.”
Ladziak says she really began to become interested in food when she became a vegetarian and had to start planning her meals better. This added care for the food landed her with an AiP admissions representative who mentioned the Best Teen Chef Competition .
“[The competition] was hard, especially since I hadn’t had any training in culinary arts,” said Ladziak. In the end, the judges decided they liked her chicken with mushroom sauce and Spanish rice more than the competition.
