These students had an incredible weekend at the Texas ProStart Invitational, one that reflects months of hard work, late nights, weekends, and even school breaks spent pushing themselves to be better. They showed up and gave it everything they had while representing themselves with pride. I could not be more proud of this group and everything they have poured into this journey.

Here's to next year as we build and go again.

Cindy Galvan stepped into the ProStart individual competition representing Pasadena High School as a proud Eagle 🦅, and her performance showed it. Since November, she has been putting in the work week in and week out 💪.

Her hand rolled rosemary dough 🌿, filled with a ricotta and mascarpone lemon stuffing 🍋, paired beautifully with a blackberry basil sauce 🫐🌿. Every element reflected her dedication, skill, and Eagle pride ✨👩‍🍳. A great showing that highlights her hard work and growth 👏

Our ProStart Management Team delivered an incredible performance today, confidently pitching their restaurant concept Umi No Iro 🌊

From vision to ex*****on, every detail reflected their hard work, creativity, and commitment to excellence. This was not just a presentation it was a statement of who they are and what they are capable of

Proud does not even begin to cover it. 🔥

Abigail was our first competitor at the 2026 ProStart Invitational State Competition, and she opened the event with a dish that was entirely her own creation:

- Macadamia nut pancakes with a delicate white sauce
- A jalapeño, onion, and sun‑dried tomato hash
- A vanilla–orange semolina pudding

Abi has been perfecting this menu since September, pouring countless hours into refining every flavor and technique. The result is a dish that reflects her creativity, discipline, and passion for the craft. It is unmistakably hers.

Just like Remy — great cooking isn’t talent, it’s practice.

🎬 1. “Anyone can cook” → Skills are built, not born

In Ratatouille, Remy isn’t supposed to be a chef —
but he becomes one through:
Practice
Mistakes
Learning technique
Students are doing the same thing:
learning knife skills, seasoning, timing, and presentation — not just “following a recipe.”
