One of the local post-secondary schools in our community offers a class to students who are going into the food service industry. The school has renovated and created a dining room which can seat sixty people. The dining room is open to the public from 6 – 9 for three nights at week for about two months a year. As part of their training, the students wait on tables and serve customers. The dining room is made up to look like a top-notch restaurant. The students/servers wear white shirts and black pants. The meals are cooked by an award-winning chef who has his own restaurant in our city. The food is wonderful! You truly feel like you are in an expensive restaurant – until you get your bill! Because the servers are in training and the school is actually using the public to help train the students, the meals are all $19.95! Cocktails are only $2.50! Word is slowly spreading throughout our city and every night more and more customers are showing up. Last night, they were filled – all sixty seats were taken. The students, though they are nervous, are eager to please and do a good job. The food is delicious and the cocktails are wonderful. Way to go, SIAST! What a great idea. Eating good food, enjoying great cocktails and helping students learn . . . it’s a good thing!
