“We usually plan to prepare for 380 to max about 400 people,” Chef Brook Harlan said. The holiday lunch “sort of took off once we built the new kitchen, and in 2003, we started doing these lunches here.”
For almost ten years, culinary students are taught to cook not only for individual dishes but menus for groups such as their peers. After months of training in the kitchens, they will now have the chance to showcase their skills.
“In culinary class we don’t do much large-scale things, it’s more you make for one or two people in the class,” senior Mallory Barnes said. “So the lunch helps you prepare if you were going into catering or something like that.”
The Sampler Meal Deal includes turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie which will cost five dollars. They also have a vegetarian option that includes acorn squash in place of turkey. Extra seating will be available in Room 101 in the basement for visitors.
