The competition was hot last Friday night during the Kiwanis Club of El Centro Mystery Box Cook Off.

While Corazo Credit Union may have defeated Sun Community Federal Credit Union in the kitchen the real winner was the Imperial County Food Bank. Chef Veronica Yee and Sous Chef Iveth Diaz from Corazo Credit Union took the honors over Chefs Jeannie Walker and Alisa Holiman from Sun Community. Both teams were presented a box of ingredients that would be typically provided Food Bank recipients. They had 5 minutes to plan a meal and then 55 minutes to execute that plan and deliver dinner to the judges, Jasmin Rodriguez, Imperial Mayor James Tucker and Brawley Fire Chief Mike York. While the Corazo team won the Imperial Valley Food Bank was the real winner with a donation of $5,000 raised by the Kiwanis Club of El Centro at the event.
