NRAEF ProStart Invitational

Attending the National Restaurant Association ProStart Invitational was an educational experience in so many ways.  It’s amazing to see how much dedication, creativity, and pure talent ProStart students from across the country have and seeing our future leaders of the food-service industry. I was extremely proud of both teams that represented Wisconsin, Pulaski High School in the management competition and Badger High School (Lake Geneva) in the culinary competition.  Both teams were poised, professional, and made me proud to be from Wisconsin.

Although there was a healthy amount of stress, there was even more of pride because our Pulaski High School management team accomplished and learned so much leading up to the event.  I cannot provide enough thanks to all of the parents, business professionals, the Wisconsin Restaurant Association, and our especially our mentors, Chef Ben Raupp (SALT, De Pere) and Chefs Kelly Qualley & Josh Swanson (Hinterland, Green Bay) for all of their help.

Congratulations to Grant Bachman, Brooke Baron, Kaylee Court, and Hannah Stephanie for being such amazing team members whom I'm proud to say I'm your teacher. 

Much love, -Moehr
