Our chicken pot pie is always a crowd pleaser, but beyond that I feel that it is one of those food sales that provides the opportunity to practice so many fundamentals, some of which have been formally taught, others that are like a glimpse into future lessons. Of the essential competencies that are outlined in the curriculum this dish requires that you understand the technique of "cutting in" and temperature control when the students make the pie dough, knife skills of different vegetables, cooking techniques (poaching the chicken, sweating the mirepoix, baking the pies), thickening agents and Mother sauce production, and of course time and temperature control along the whole process (Servsafe).

It is a test of patience and determination. This week our order numbered about 60 individual pies. Many students contributed. I get to watch these kids everyday, and I suppose at times I begin to take it for granted that they are not yet seasoned professionals (though many appear to be). I think that if you saw how they work you would be amazed. You really would.
