Ever since Julia Child started her TV cooking show, the public has been drawn into watching chefs cook. These later shows include Chopped, Top Chef and MasterChef. These must have inspired Catholic communities to join in on cooking competitions, such as Rectory, Set, Cook; St. Augustine’s Holy Cooking Contest and Cooks with Collars. While not all are televised, most contests are filmed and, like Cooks with Collars, posted on the company’s website.
