Police Officers Compete in NYIT's Cast Iron Chef Event

Take a handful of police officers, stir in a dollop of student and chef judges and well-known TV news anchors, give out baskets of unfamiliar ingredients, and what do you get? Fun with colleagues and food that rivals the likes of Bravo's Top Chef or Food Network's Chopped.
