Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute’s Watauga Campus Culinary Arts program will offer “Carry Out Cuisine” events this Fall to the general public. Meals are prepared by second year students in the Global Cuisine Class.
CCC&TI’s Watauga Campus added a professional kitchen space in the Occupational Training Facility in 2015, which allowed the college to begin offering the Culinary Arts program on both campuses.
The “Carry Out Cuisine” events offer the public an opportunity to enjoy gourmet fare at a reasonable price, while also helping CCC&TI’s Watauga Campus Culinary Arts students apply their classroom knowledge in a real-world setting.
