The \u201cCADairy2Go\u201d competition is inspired by chefs and foodservice operators who made quick, creative pivots to adjust their menus for the takeout and delivery model during the disruption caused by the pandemic.<\/p><p>The Real California Milk Foodservice Team hand-selected twelve culinary professionals to participate in the first-of-its-kind event, representing a variety of foodservice backgrounds, including experience in major restaurant chains, broadline distributors, independent restaurants, ghost kitchens and food trucks.<\/p><p>Each chef will submit one dish in either the Cal-Mex or Cheese+Mac category, as well as a second dish under Innovate-To-Go, which allows for creativity beyond their assigned category. All dishes must be optimized for the takeout or \u201cto-go\u201d experience and incorporate sustainability sourced California cheese and other dairy ingredients.<\/p><p>The 2021 CADairy2Go participants are:<\/p><ul><li>Carrie Baird \u2013 Rose\u2019s Classic Americana &#8211; Boulder, CO<\/li><li>Victoria Elizondo \u2013Cochinita &amp; Co. &#8211; Houston, TX<\/li><li>Gina Galvan \u2013 Mood for Food &#8211; San Juan Capistrano, CA<\/li><li>Gina Genshlea \u2013 Revolution Winery &amp; Kitchen &#8211; Sacramento, CA<\/li><li>Nelson German \u2013 alaMar Kitchen &amp; Bar, Sobre Mesa &#8211; Oakland, CA<\/li><li>Heidi Gibson \u2013 The American Grilled Cheese Kitchen &#8211; San Francisco, CA<\/li><li>Marti Lieberman \u2013 Mac Mart &#8211; Philadelphia, PA<\/li><li>Brian Mullins \u2013 Ms. Cheezious\u00ae &#8211; Miami, FL<\/li><li>Tamra Scroggins \u2013 Grill Concepts &#8211; Los Angeles, CA<\/li><li>Alex Sadowsky \u2013 Twin Peaks &#8211; Dallas, TX<\/li><li>Manish Tyagi \u2013 Aurum \u2013 Los Altos, CA<\/li><li>Mary Grace Viado \u2013 Village Tavern &#8211; Birmingham, AL<\/li><\/ul><p><br \/>Participating chefs will win cash prizes from $500 to $5,000.

The final cook-off will be captured in a live broadcast that will be streamed in celebration of the chefs and their creations. Additional details on the competition and the chef competitors is available at CADairy2Go.<\/p><p>\u201cThe past year has challenged chefs to be strategic in creating dishes that are not only comforting but can also hold up for an off-premise dining experience. This competition leverages the off-premise dining trends that emerged during this time and celebrates chefs who worked to respond quickly to consumer needs,\u201d said Nancy Campbell, Business Development consultant for CMAB Foodservice. \u201cDairy is an essential ingredient for bringing to-go menu innovations to life and provides the flavor and flexibility to any style of cooking \u2013 from plant-forward to comfort and everything in between.\u201d<\/p><p>As the nation\u2019s largest dairy state, California boasts a long list of cheesemakers and dairy processors, that are further driving to-go dining innovation California leads the nation in milk production and is responsible for producing more butter, ice cream and nonfat dry milk than any other state. The state is the second-largest producer of cheese and yogurt. California milk and dairy foods can be identified by the Real California Milk seal, which certifies they are made exclusively with sustainably sourced milk from the state\u2019s dairy farm families.<\/p><p>California is a reliable, consistent source of sustainable dairy products used by chefs throughout the world.
