2019 Culinary Guild's Food and Beverage Symposium
Foods II students, Geneva Warren, Aliya Wilson, Jaylen Ladet and their instructor Alisha Hester attended Piedmont Culinary Guild's Food and Beverage Symposium 2019 on Sunday March 17th. They were given a sponsorship by Salt Water Markets, Gastonia and got to be student assistants for Rodney Roden. Students got to sit in on lectures about whole animal butchery, whole fish utilization, elevating desserts with veggies and fruits, and the theme of the day was sustainability and zero waste. Soul Food Sessions Charlotte was there to discuss diversity in the work place and made lunch for all attendees. Our students got to chat with chefs one on one and attend some excellent demonstrations. We can't thank Salt Water Markets enough!
