So you think you can Cook? TAP residents face off in cooking competition

Last Saturday, George Mason University hosted the third TAP Chef Cooking on a Budget event, as part of TAP’s (which stands for Townhouses, Apartments) annual, campus-wide Young, Broke and Fabulous program.

“Participants are required to cook a budget-friendly meal, under $10, in 30 to 45 minutes,” said Malissa Brennan, the TAP residence director.

One contestant, Kelley Towne, a junior and Communication major showed up with groceries in hand, ready to show off her cooking skills.
