Runners Up
| Prince Baltero (Lanai)“What I learned from this contest was that vegetables could be perfectly great like meat. And trying to use whatever resources our island has during this pandemic period keeps me and the whole family healthy. Most important lesson I’ve learned is that cooking is hard work so we don’t waste any food at the table at all.” | |
| Liliana Dutcher (Oahu)“Through this cooking contest, I learned how to film, edit and manage my time wisely.” | |
