Airman 1st Class Joel Hendrickson, 56th Logistics Readiness Squadron vehicle operator, and Senior Airman David Escobar, 56th Force Support Squadron food ser- vice apprentice, prepare Asian-style food for judging during the Taste of Luke cooking competition May 9 at Luke Air Force Base. Hendrickson and Escobar took first place. Food was judged based on criteria such as presentation, flavor and incorporation of special ingredients.
Three teams of Luke Airmen competed against each other in a competition to cook Asian-inspired food in honor of Asian-Pacific Islander Heritage Month, which took place throughout May.
Joe Lucidi, local restaurant owner, judges an appetizer during the competition at Luke AFB. Lucidi was one of three guest judges, all from local restaurants.
