Culinary Arts Club Update

It always seems that the Summer never lasts as long as the other seasons, at the Art Institute the Summer quarter is in fact a week shorter and that extra week always seems to make a difference.

This quarter the Culinary Arts Club, through the extraordinary efforts of Tim Brower (Student of the Quarter) and Heidi Reily, did produce the first edition of the outstandingly redesigned The Culinary Courier.

The club has continued its gastronomical tours of Pittsburgh with a delicious lunch at our own A Taste of Art’s new student run Tasting Menu. The new program has pairs of students from the À la Carte class plan and execute a full and entirely unique chefs tasting menu for six to eight people. The club also spent a wonderful Latin inspired night at the recently opened Seviche on Penn Avenue.

Progress has also been made on finalizing the schedule for tour of a local slaughterhouse, which will allow the members of the club to further connect with the food we prepare each day.

The fall quarter will see another large group of incoming students and the focus of the club must be to increase our numbers through the recruitment of new members. With the influx of new members with new ideas and experiences, we will ensure of club’s future success.

Jonathan Hittinger, President, Culinary Arts Club
