Each region will hold preliminary culinary challenges. All preliminary challenges use the sensory evaluation sheet(same evaluation sheet the astronauts use to judge food), then the top 10 will be selected from ALL of the preliminary competitions across the nation to come to the JSC Final Challenge at Space Center Houston. We will be limited to 10 competitors in the JSC Final Culinary Challenge this year. (Preliminary challenges will be based solely on the Preliminary research papers and the sensory evaluation of the entree and the JSC Food lab assessment on space flight compatibility)
