Calling all cooks! Enter the Arts & Culture Fest Cooking Contest!

Do you make a mean jambalaya, or roll some awesome onigiri? Do people swoon over your mango rice dessert and the best fried rice this side of Chollas Creek?

The 2010 Arts & Culture Fest is seeking entries to its Cooking Competition on Saturday, October 16!

For a $5 entry fee, you can enter your best rice dish to compete for up to 0 in cash prizes.
