Students from Houston Independent School District Collaborate with Aramark, NRG Stadium to Create Super Bowl Sandwich
Through a collaboration with Aramark at NRG Stadium, a team of student chefs from Westside High School (Houston Independent School District) -- Dominique Jackson, Michelle Meadows, and Vivian Romero -- worked alongside Senior Executive Chef Mark Cornish’s culinary team to create the Bayou City Bánh Mì 51 – a Bánh Mì-style sandwich with grilled fajita steak, avocado spread and pickled vegetables.
Aided by development parameters and under the direction of their classroom instructors, the students tested recipes and concepts before presenting two dishes to a panel of Aramark judges, who selected the winning item. The Bayou City Banh Mi will be featured at NRG Stadium’s concessions stands during the Super Bowl on Feb. 5.
Aramark is the exclusive food and beverage provider for NRG Stadium and Super Bowl LI, and is also the food services provider for Houston Independent School District
