[Photo Gallery Archives]


Each semester, School of Hospitality students get the unique opportunity to work alongside accomplished chefs about whom other students only read. For the fall semester's Visiting Chef Series, Matthew Pike, executive chef of Santa Anita Park, a horse-racing facility near Los Angeles; Phillip Brown, personal chef in Jacksonville, Fla.; David Sturgis, chef de cuisine of Muss & Turners, an upscale convenience food store in Smyrna, Ga.; and Timothy Eldridge, manager of Muss & Turners; arrived on campus Thursday. Brown and Sturgis presented a food demonstration for students and faculty Nov. 10, and, on Nov. 11, the four visitors presented a lecture and discussion regarding growing trends in the hospitality industry. The visit culminated with a six-course dinner on Nov. 12, funds from which will be used for the Roger and Peggy Madigan Library.
