We thanked Chef Limoggio and the six seniors (second year culinary students) during our lunch meeting on May 7. Chef noted that the class this year was smaller than usual, but that they “really kicked butt”. The students have some input into the menu planning and we don’t see entree items repeated within the same year.
In addition to our weekly lunches, they have many other opportunities to plan and cook meals. They did very well in the 9th year of Heart Association Competition, prepared and served two advisory council dinners for about 100 people, prepared breakfast for Cumberland County Superintendents meetings, and provided full-service lunches to Community Service Dept lunches when requested, among other events.
This year’s students are pictured with Chef Limoggio.
