First Menu Execution- Northern Italy

Here is a copy of the first menu we did for the school.  It was our first menu execution.  We were split into 2 groups north and south.  I was voted head chef and we created menu to present to the judges and our peers based on a few rules.  Things we had seen made at school and related to the section of italy.  It was pretty fun.  We will have several more of these before the end.  Kind of reminded me of my production days, all about project and time management.
