Lindenhurst CTE Students Host Culinary Arts Night

Students in Lindenhurst High School’s culinary arts and hospitality career and technical education class recently served up a delicious evening for their families during the class’s inaugural Culinary Arts and Hospitality Night, organized by CTE teacher Toni Pastore.

Over the course of the school year, these chefs in training have been developing their own restaurant ideas. They developed a theme; a menu; and a marketing presence in the form of decorations, invitations, and social media campaigns. Then, the students invited members of their family to the high school for this special night, during which they served up their menu items for a full-course dinner. The visitors could then rate and review the “restaurants” on comment cards.

The event was a creative way to give students a taste of the demands of the restaurant industry and gave them a chance to think about and plan every detail required for a successful eatery. It culminated in a fun and delicious night with a large turnout.
