HEAD COOK: NATE BENSON

COMPETITION: World Invitational Steak Championship - SCA


When I was a teenager, my mother would force me to cook a meal every month or so. I hated it. However, when I moved out, I quickly learned that I missed a home cooked meal. I was able to use the skills I had learned from my mother to start cooking for myself. I learned that I could figure out how to make just about anything I wanted to make. This served me well and I cooked for many people and many events. People would always comment on how good my food was. I spent a lot of time with my mom in the kitchen cooking. Then, my mom died suddenly. I fell into depression and anxiety. It was not until I found competitive cooking that I was able to have an outlet to learn to deal with my anxiety and depression. After a few backyard KCBS events, I found the SCA and have been competing primarily in the SCA since 2019.
