Congratulations to Higley High School grad Julie Fiedler (right) and her International Culinary School classmates at the Art Institute of Phoenix, Katelyn Remick and Tyler Burke.

The trio may have lost their culinary battle against Michael Symon on the Food Network’s popular “Iron Chef America” Sunday, but the magnanimous Iron Chef offered them a sweet consolation prize: internships at his prestigious Cleveland restaurant Lola.

Sunday’s battle marked the first time culinary students had competed against an Iron Chef on the TV show. The featured ingredient was balsamic vinegar.

You can catch repeats of the hour-long episode featuring Fiedler, who also attended the East Valley Institute of Technology, and her teammates at 8 p.m. Thursday, 3 a.m. Friday, 4 p.m. and 11 p.m. Saturday and 2 a.m. Sunday on the Food Network.
