COMPETITOR
Mari Nichols
HEAD COOK: Mari Nichols
COMPETITION: World Seafood Championship
QUALIFYING EVENT: World Seafood Championship
I grew up in South Dakota and always loved to cook! I got the basics from my mother and then experimented on my friends! In college I had lots of starving students to use as guinea pigs! I used to borrow my friends children and we held cooking class in my kitchen. Then we would serve dinner to the parents! A big thank you to Challenge Butter for sponsoring me and Cookmore for selecting my Ahi recipe that will bring me to Florida to compete in the seafood category at the World Food Championships!
