Restaurant Wars

       Culinary Arts 1 students had their own version of Top Chef's Restaurant Wars by creating a restaurant concept including menu, service-style, and general techniques to be used by their front-of-the-house staff to enhance customer satisfaction and overall restaurant profits. Students had to determine reservation systems, procedure for taking orders (POS systems), suggestive selling techniques, etc.  For the cook-off, teams planned amuse bouche (a gift from the chefs not found on their menu) for their guests to represent the flavor of your restaurant and 1 main entrée served for the actual meal.  Judging was based on the overall taste, appearance, and quality of both the amuse bouche and main entree.  
Winner: Shiwu Restaurant serving Pot Sticker Dumplings and General Tso's Chicken by Melissa Skalecki, Christa Charnon, Hunter Kleist, and Katelyn Winther.
