The 140 high school students in Culinary, Pastry Arts & Hospitality Management at Technology Center of DuPage in Addison are practicing and prepping for the biggest test of their skills: the 21st Annual Culinary Scholarship Dinner. The event takes place Thursday, March 18, beginning at 5:30 p.m. with appetizer stations and passed hors d’oeuvres, followed by the entrée and a dessert buffet.
The gala evening features a silent auction, a raffle for gifts, and entertainment by The Brill Babies, specializing in music of the 50’s through the 80’s. Guests have the added excitement of a “backstage view” of the students working in their commercial grade kitchen, thanks to a live video feed courtesy of TCD’s Multimedia & TV Production students.
Tickets for TCD’s 2010 Culinary Scholarship Dinner are available through March 10 at $50 per person (or earlier if the maximum seating of 190 is reached). Raffle tickets may be purchased any time until the entrée the night of the dinner. Raffle ticketholders need not attend the dinner to enter or win. All proceeds support scholarships for the post-secondary education of TCD’s culinary and hospitality students.
