Make history! Kick off another 25 years of ‘Incredible Edible’ cookoff success

Jan. 15, 2016; MLive

History happens in the kitchen as much as in the halls of government.

… As the years went by, contestants needed more from the Grand Rapids Community College culinary arts division kitchen, where the contest is held. First it was a microwave oven, then a grill. Blenders gave way to food processors, all reflecting food preparation techniques for a faster pace of life and increasingly cosmopolitan tastes.
