RLC Culinary cooks up something special for Showcase

The Culinary Arts Showcase is an event that resembles a fine dining restaurant run by RLC Culinary Arts students enrolled in the Restaurant Management course. Using the bi-level kitchen and dining area in the Student Center on the Ina campus, students work in a variety of roles, ranging from executive chef, sous chef, server, runner, Maitre D’, and many more to get hands-on experience in all aspects of the restaurant business.

The Showcase will be open and taking reservations for 5, 5:30, 6 and 6:30 p.m., on Thursdays and Fridays between March 23 and May 4, with the exception of Good Friday, March 30.

Guests can begin making reservations now for up to six diners for dates two weeks in advance of the date they wish to attend. In addition to this pre-registration, guests will also be required to pre-pay for their reservation at $25 per ticket.

To do so, contact or visit RLC’s Community and Corporate Education Division at 618-437-5321, Ext. 1714. Their office is located upstairs in the Student Center, Ina campus.
