The Louisiana Culinary Institute continues its annual Race to Cannes cooking competition, in which top students compete for a spot to cook for movie stars, crew, visitors and more at the American Pavilion at the Cannes Film Festival in France this May. The second round, which took place last Friday, Feb. 17 pitted four of LCI’s top students against one another in a Top Chef–style competition. The contenders had to make use of three ingredients: squash, cassava flour and pork loin. One of the winning dishes was a pork loin on cassava waffle, with a side of grilled squash and bacon. The competition concludes March 23. You can find more information and photos of the competition on the institute’s Facebook page here, and read the rest of this week’s 225 Dine e-newsletter here.
