MCC Opens its Student Kitchens for Dining at the Culinary Arts Center

Manchester Community College is again opening its award-winning Culinary Arts Center kitchens to members of the community this fall to help students learn and improve their craft.

The public is invited to join student chefs at any of a series of luncheons featuring tantalizing, classic dishes. Sales begin on Tuesday, September 16, at 8:30 a.m.

The meals, kicking off with an Oktoberfest menu September 30, will also be served on October 3, 17, 24 and 30, as well as on November 6, 14, 20 and December 9. Seating is in the Culinary Arts Center dining room on the second floor of the college’s Student Services Center, starting at noon. The cost per meal is $8.

“Part of the learning experience is to serve real customers and get feedback on the quality of our students’ food and service,” said Professor Jayne Pearson, who leads the MCC program. “We encourage people to join us and, rather than leaving a tip, provide honest comments to help the students learn how to provide world-class service.”

Reservations are required and fees must be paid at least two weeks in advance. There is a limit of eight reservations per person per meal.
