CWC Hospitality Program Director, Amy Madera, decided last fall that the UW John P. Ellbogen $50,000 Entrepreneurship Competition was an exceptional alignment to the Food and Beverage Operations course curriculum. Students applied their academic knowledge throughout the semester to create and design a mobile commercial teaching kitchen, including a custom-designed trailer, culinary equipment, and a truck to haul the kitchen trailer to local, regional and state-wide locations.
Madera and her six students went to work, preparing their project, âCooking With Community,â designed to offer year-round culinary instruction in Jackson and surrounding counties the college serves, including training on regional farms and the Wind River Indian Reservation. The mobile unit will also be available for on-site catering and special events.
