Honors served up to
Career & Tech for hosting, supporting
Culinary Cornucopia
The 2009 Heart of the Cornucopia Award was
presented to Career & Tech's Culinary Arts & Hospitality
Technology students and staff at the Albany Marriott on November
8, in honor of their support of and participation in the annual
Culinary Cornucopia chefs competition and fund-raising dinner. The
events benefit Living Resources Inc., which offers programs and
services for individuals with traumatic brain injuries and
developmental disabilities.
Chef Cooper and his team won a
silver medal, and Chef Rother and his team won a bronze.
Meg Bugler's Floral Design students created stunning
arrangements for the event.
In the
Cornucopia event at Career & Tech, chefs compete not against each other but
for points awarded by Amercian Culinary Federation (ACF) judges. They are
evaluated for use of product, taste, serving size, sanitation and other
criteria.
"Living Resources is a valuable
organization for our community, and we couldn't ask for better
partners in coordinating the event than Joan Meyer, their director
of public affairs, or Dale Miller, chairman of the culinary
competition and owner of Dale Miller Restaurant, Albany," said Chef Brucker. "The competition and
dinner provide students with an unmatched opportunity to shadow
the experts, learn hands-on and participate in a professional event while doing something
good for the community."
Career & Tech's Albany campus Culinary Arts
program has hosted the Culinary Cornucopia ACF competition for several years.
"Career & Tech will be here as competition host and support into the future,
for as long as we can be of assistance to Living Resources."
