Elk County Favorite Food Show

The Favorite Food Show is an exhibit and contest to encourage 4-H members to learn about meal planning, food preparation and presentation. A "Favorite Food" is chosen, one the 4-H'er likes and likes to prepare. A menu is planned with the food and the table decor is coordinated. Foods chosen maybe main courses, desserts, snacks, breads, casseroles or other.

A recipe card and menu card should be displayed with the proper table setting. The 4-H'er will visit informally with the judge and tell how to prepare and serve the food, why they selected the table service and dishes, why the centerpiece is appropriate. The 4-H'er should also know some of the nutritional value of the food and be able to discuss that with the judge.

The 4-H'er will need to provide:

One picture of the favorite food you have selected being prepared.
One picture of the finished plated product. ( 4-H'ers no longer prepare food to present the day of the event due to concerns about food waste, food prep and presentation time the day of the event.)
