The Archer Family celebrates their cook-off victory outside the California Club.   Archer Family Wins Pacific Region Cook-Off Competition "Iron Chef" has a new meaning for families that recently participated in Boys & Girls Clubs of America's “Iron Chef” Competition. Last week, three Garden Grove, Calif., families competed to create an appetizing, tasty, beautifully-plated meal from the BGCA's newly released Family PLUS cookbook, Just Add Family: Delicious Recipes for the Entire Family. Just Add Family, the brainchild of BGCA and Kimberly-Clark Corporation, combines more than 100 family-favorite recipes from Boys & Girls Club members with guidelines for creating fun dinnertime activities as well as helpful tips for spending quality family time together. The cookbook is available to everyone at the Family PLUS Web site, familyplus.bgca.org. Cheered on by more than 200 members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Garden Grove, the Archer Family (Hede, Robert, Mowpheth and Hannah) won this regional event using ingredients selected from the cookbook. The unanimous decision for the Archer Family was made by a panel of capable judges including, Orange County Register food critic Cynthia Furey, executive chef Doug Coleman, culinary professor Mike Backouris and executive chef Kevin Fabritz. "The ‘Iron Chef’ competitions have been extremely successful in promoting family togetherness as well as demonstrating the Family PLUS tenet of giving families the resources and guidance for spending more quality time together," said Jose Cruz, BGCA Family Support director. "They are so successful both with our members, and with raising awareness for Family PLUS, we decided to host competitions in each region of the country to spread the word." The remaining 2008 “Iron Chef” competitions include: • Aug. 21:  Albany, New York • Sept. 20:  Dallas, Texas Recipes, locations and teams will be customized in each individual region, with all of the regional winning families competing for the national BGCA “Iron Chef” title on Nov. 19 in Atlanta.
