Fourth-graders from throughout the Granite School District wore toques and white jackets Friday as they prepared their favorite snacks in the 2015 Future Chefs competition. Students in the annual nationwide challenge create their own recipes and are encouraged to make good nutritional choices. The young cooks worked at the Granite Education Center's café at 2500 S. State Street and were assisted by professional chefs from Granite Food Services.
