In the ever growing, ever popular world of culinary education, I am on the front lines. In the midst of this foodie explosion, I am the catalyst. I am a high school culinary educator.

Here you'll find stories, projects, and sometimes even cooking/baking tips on the goings on of the culinary arts program at the Hollenstein Career and Technology Center in Fort Worth, Texas.

Nominated

So last month I was nominated for the 2012 Texas Restaurant Association Education Foundation Educator Excellence Award. I can't lie I'm a little nervous about finding out the winner.





The winner gets:
Two complimentary tickets to the TRA President’s Gala – Omni Dallas Hotel
 Two complimentary tickets to the Southwest Foodservice Expo – Dallas Convention Center
 One night hotel stay AND up to $300 travel expenses reimbursement to attend the TRA
President’s Gala and Southwest Foodservice Expo
 $1,000 cash prize
 $1,000 in groceries for their classroom
 Registration to the 2012 Culinary Educators Training Conference – Le Cordon Bleu‐Austin,
6/28‐30/2012



 I get plenty of satisfaction when I see my students doing well or learning from me, but I'd love to have a title or award or two to add to the ol resume. And the $1000 wouldn't hurt either.

I find out this Thursday whether I won or not. I'm hopeful. And also honored to have been nominated.

I'm copying an pasting my essay in my next post.
