Green Bay Restaurant Week Kick-Off Event a Success!!!

What is Restaurant Week?
    Green Bay Restaurant Week allows everyone to experience great food and prices that delight your palate and your wallet. This culinary event featured discounted prix fixe menus from 70 area restaurants. Food lovers simply dined out at as many participating restaurants as they liked during Greater Green Bay Restaurant Week July 9-16.

Restaurant Week Kick-Off Event
As an added bonus this year, the event partners graciously created a kick-off event to benefit the two largest high school culinary programs in the area, Pulaski and Preble High Schools.  All food and facilities were donated to the event and all proceeds from ticket sales were donated to the two high school ProStart programs.  

As a friendly competition, each school will have 5 teams of 3 students planning and preparing 2 hors d'oeuvres, 1 hot and 1 cold, totaling 20 different appetizers for event visitors to sample and choose their favorite for the People's Choice Award!  

Results:
The event was a HUGE SUCCESS! Ticket sales were phenomenal and the schools were only 8 tickets apart! Because of Preble's teacher, Laurie Spence, the ticket sales were split evenly.

The Wisconsin Restaurant Association Brown County Chapter donated an additional $1000 to each school's program!

I am just so tremendously grateful for Pulaski's program to be included for this event. It was a new and exciting challenge/opportunity that my students are already plotting for future years (I don't know who they get that competitive spirit from ☺).

Nesco Cooks It Up (and dries it out!) in ProStart Classes

We were incredibly fortunate to have The Metal Ware Corporation (Nesco) Sales Associate/Food Stylist, Ruby Renard, demonstrate a number of their products, including Nesco's griddle/grill, pressure cooker, and dehydrator.  ProStart students were able to see the capabilities of using various cooking methods in a food-service kitchen, as well as understand other employment opportunities available in the industry.  

I would like to give a huge, huge thank you to Ruby Renard and Darlene Schmitz (VP of Sales & Marketing) for donating their time AND equipment to enhance Pulaski High School's ProStart program.  You are amazing!
