Yesterday, our Cohort 12 students had the incredible opportunity to visit J.J. McDonnell & Co Inc, a long-time partner of The Franciscan Center of Baltimore. Over the years, JJ McDonnell has been instrumental in providing seafood education and resources to support our culinary training programs, including initiatives like The Fish Project in collaboration with IMET - Institute of Marine and Environmental Technology. During the visit, students gained valuable industry knowledge through an educational session on Maryland and East Coast seafood varieties, hands-on oyster shucking and tasting, and a guided tour of JJ McDonnell’s state-of-the-art facility. We are grateful to J.J. McDonnell & Co Inc for their continued support and for providing our students with hands-on learning experiences that prepare them for careers in the culinary industry. Thank you!
Last week, our students put their skills to the test in one of their final cooking exams, cooking exam #4, —and we had an incredible crowd to support them! Their dedication, passion, and commitment to culinary excellence were on full display, and we couldn’t be more proud. Stay tuned for their last cooking exam on March 21st.
Food is Medicine. Every Wednesday we like to bring to our culinary students outside experts to teach about different life skills that we all need to know. Here is where our partnership with MedStar Health really shows. We LOVE introducing our students to individuals like Tornia Anderson Morgan, RD, LDN who can explain and demonstrate on topics like Food is Medicine so everyone can understand how they can make healthier choices. Soon our students will be cooking for a countless number individuals and families so their education in how to make meals heathier is critical. Armed with the right education can allow our students to become healthy food influencers in their families, communities and at their workplace. It all starts when our students meet with individuals like Tornia Anderson Morgan, RD, LDN and Angela Roberson, RD, LDN, CDCES.
Only 10 spots left. March 21st... 11:30am till 1pm. The last cooking exam for our current culinary class. Would you like to attend ? RSVP at: https://lnkd.in/eanj4iVt

I took a minute to remind myself today that #cpg #branddiscovery doesn't just happen at Natural Products Expo - and that at the core of our #cpgindustry isn't just #brandbuilding, #finance, and #retail, it's #taste, #community, and #local support! Enter my brother and CPG colleague Quentin Vennie and The Equitea Co. I took a meeting with a fellow #baltimore mogul, Traci Kodeck from HealthCare Access Maryland at Q's new Equitea pop-up at the Old Parts & Labor Spot in Remington and was wowed by #wellnesswednesday and Q's love-filled craft brewed matcha. It reminded me of our restaurant days where I truly missed connecting with customers, talking about what goes into our food and the craft that goes behind conscious cooking. It's also one of the things I get most excited about at #expowest - the #humanity behind food culture and connecting with others to share our love for our products and what we do. Quentin Vennie thank you for reminding us all about the importance of taste, experience and community in what we do - and cheers to Thibault Manekin and the team at Seawall for thoughtful space utilization for local brands. If you are local, check out Equitea's pop up NOW.
