A client of mine is the National Restaurant Association’s educational foundation, ProStart. “ProStart is the career-building program for high school students who are interested in culinary arts and foodservice management.” I handle their Facebook and Twitter pages and on occasion get to attend their events to capture the moment and keep it alive through social media.
Today I visited Technology Center of Dupage’s Culinary Club “Open to students in the Culinary, Pastry Arts and Hospitality Management program, Culinary Club members learn and practice skills used in competition. Each year, returning seniors may test for a place on TCD’s ProStart Culinary and Management teams, which compete in the fall at the state level (www.prostart.restaurant.org). Other competitions through the year are open to all culinary students and include the College of DuPage Recipe Scholarship Competition in the spring.”
They served lunch, which was better than most 5 star restaurants. You can see all of the pictures on Facebook but I will give you a little teaser here:
