Dinner: Global Cuisine & Connections

Resuming at the beginning of September on Wednesday and Friday nights

Join our senior culinary students for the culmination of their education at Penn College, as they present a 5-course meal inspired by their experiences, upbringing, and culinary passions. Student managers will bring to life every aspect of the meal, from the development of the menu and recipes to the assignments for their classmates and social media marketing. This comprehensive review of their time at Penn College will allow them to get their first taste of what it means to be a leader in a professional kitchen before they graduate. Adding to the meal are desserts prepared by Le Jeune Chef's professional pastry chefs and Baking and Pastry Arts students.  Menus for each Global Dinner will be published as soon as we get them from the Chef.

We will begin taking reservations for the Global Dinners on Monday, August 10, by phone only. We do not accept email reservations.
