Black Culinary Arts Dinner

Last night Marchette and I got all dressed up for the BCA annual fundraising dinner.



The BCA is a nationwide non-profit, educational and networking organization of hospitality and food service professionals. Its mission is to create exposure and provide educational and professional opportunities for culinary and hospitality professionals of color. They provide quality educational and employment resources, job coaching, mentoring and assistance with placement, and networking support. Additionally, the BCA exposes inner-city high school students to the culinary arts through a series of workshops that serve to introduce culinary arts as a viable career option.

Our company hosts BCA workshops and employs BCA interns.
























The students from various BCA member schools prepared the cocktail reception food, the main dinner, and dessert.





















We were joined by my coworkers Susan Stockton( with husband Rick), Patalia Tate (with her charming date Bernard).
