A-B Tech Culinary - Fall Productions

Just released! - Fall semester schedule for A-B Tech's Hospitality Dining Productions.

The Hospitality Education students of A-B Tech will be offering both regular buffets and served buffets this fall. Both formats will feature their popular International and American Regional menus. Lunches and dinners will both be in the Magnolia Building.

Seating for lunch will be at 12:00, 12:30 and 1:00. Seating for dinner will be at 6:00, 6:30 and 7:00. Payment is with cash or check; they do not take credit cards. Reservations are required and may be made by calling Lee Sokol at 254-1921 ext. 244. Reservations will be taken after 10:00 a.m. on the Monday of the week you would like to dine. (Reservations for September 4 will be taken on Friday, August 29.)

A few notes on these meals:

• Seating times - refer to times that groups of people are seated. Once seated, you may linger over your meal.
• Dress - work/nice casual for lunches, dressy for dinners.
• Tips - any tips are optional, appreciated and split between two student clubs that are culinary program related and go toward things such as helping to pay for student trips to competitions in which they are participating.
• Meals - are referred to as "classes" by the culinary program. This is good food and a fun experience, but keep in mind the meals are also a learning experience for culinary students.
• Payment - A-B Tech takes cash or personal checks.
• Reservations - can be made by calling Lee Sokol at 828-254-1921 ext 244 on Monday mornings at 10:00AM the week you would like to dine at A-B Tech.
