Alabama students donned their aprons and took over the Fresh Food Company in the first ever Bama Dining: “Chopped” cooking competition on Wednesday. “What I was definitely afraid of first was the applesauce,” said Caleb Hunnicutt, a freshman nursing student on team Big Back Ballers. Bean competed on team Big Back Ballers, and he even brought his own wok to the competition. Team Grease Fire won Student Night and will advance to the final round against the winner of Men’s Night and Ladies’ Night on Feb. 2.
