🇮🇹🔥 They didn’t just bring the heat — they brought Italy to the table.

Last Thursday, September 24, our Professional Cook Level 1 students took over the kitchen for an Italian-inspired lunch buffet and mamma mia, they delivered. 🍝👨‍🍳👩‍🍳

With their program coming to an end, this buffet was a chance to put their skills, teamwork, and creativity to the test. From the kitchen to the buffet line, every dish was a little taste of what these future cooks can do.

A big grazie mille to everyone who joined us, supported our students, and came hungry! ❤️

To our students: you came, you cooked, you conquered. 🇮🇹👏 What a way to finish the program!

Now that’s amore… and a very good buffet. 😉🍕🍝
