Ribs in hand, seniors Richard Brainard and Damian Arevalo lift the hood of the grill as it cooks their next batch. These competitors prepared this food during a sixth-period practice session on campus. "What we just put on the rig was two racks of ribs, which we have double-wrapped in foil," junior Connor Gil said. "A stick of butter – sliced up, some super-fancy apple juice, and a can of coke that melts, gets hot and makes steam, and it goes back into the ribs to make them super moist."
