The 8 students from Chef Turner’s class went above and beyond this year for the event, held on March 24, 2012, as they not only planned the menu, but prepared the food order for the event, showed up a day early for the event to prep food, performed “Culinary Math” for recipes, brought mixers/ equipment from home that they needed for their “signature” dishes they were serving, and cooked the day of the event for the 300 people who attended the event.

Dorsey’s Culinary Academy students made Quiches, Fruit Kabobs, Omelets, Scrambled Eggs, Biscuits & Gravy, Sausages and more.

Ken Brown the Assistant Director of the Matrix Center had this to say about Dorsey’s participation in the Sunrise Pancake Breakfast event:

“The group of students from Dorsey Culinary did a tremendous job during the pancake breakfast. The dedication they showed to our organization was without question one of the most thoughtful things I have seen. We would not have been able to pull it off without them. They went as far as to tell how much food they thought we should buy to feed 300 people, created the list, arrived at 7am after prepping the day before. The group was great, Thank you, Thank you greatly.”
