NDSCS Culinary Arts students and faculty are scheduled to host the program’s 4th annual Scholarship Dinner on Thursday, February 29th in the Hektner Student Center at NDSCS Wahpeton.
The annual Culinary Scholarship Dinner helps raise funds to support scholarship dollars for Culinary Arts students, increasing accessibility for students to attend this program at NDSCS. This dinner is also an excellent opportunity for students to help create and serve a multi-course fine dining experience for guests, teaching important on-the-job skills and benefiting their overall Culinary education.
The schedule of events includes a guest social and multi-course meal. The 6-course dinner with wine pairings is prepared and served by culinary students, faculty, and program alumni and will be followed by a new feature – a wine raffle! Guests can purchase a cork for $25, and each cork matches with a bottle of wine, ranging in value up to $150!
Guest chefs for the 2024 Culinary Scholarship Dinner will include:
- NDSCS Culinary Arts Alumni:
- Joe Brunner from Mezzaluna in Fargo
- Alyssa Berger from 84 Steakhouse in Fargo
- Summer Peterson from BernBaum’s in Fargo
- Grace Lamberson from the Toasted Frog in Grand Forks
- Kevin Roller from NDSCS Dining Services
- Friend of the NDSCS Culinary Arts program:
- Mark Schmidt of Bix Produce
Tickets are available online at NDSCS.edu/Culinary-Dinner for $125 per person. Thanks to the guest chefs and other supportive partners in the Culinary industry, much of the food and supplies are donated for the Scholarship Dinner. That means most of each ticket price goes right back to the program in the Culinary Arts Endowment Fund, and is a tax-deductible donation.
