爱荷华中央增加烹饪食品拖车

今年秋天，爱荷华中心的烹饪学生将为我们的社区带来一个令人兴奋的新机会。

在Triton Stampede， Shellabration， Downtown Country Jam和许多其他社区活动之后，我们的烹饪学生现在可以在最先进的食品拖车上准备和提供食物。

该拖车是由位于佛罗里达州迈阿密的一家专门生产食品卡车的公司定制的，该学院在珀金斯基金的帮助下购买了这辆拖车。珀金斯基金为所有50个州的职业和技术教育（CTE）项目提供联邦bet365中文支持，同时也为烹饪专业的学生筹集了多年的资金。

“It is built to specifications just as Chef (Michael Hirst, Iowa Central Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management Program Coordinator) requested it,” said Neale Adams, Dean of Career and Technical Education. “It has a hood and all equipment required for it to be up to Iowa Code.”

拖车配备了冰箱、冰柜、炸锅、平顶、燃气烤架、烤箱和打样柜，并配有空调，即使在最温暖的夏季，学生也能舒适地工作。 它将同时容纳多达7名学生。

“Chef and I were talking about the different ways we could prepare students for up-and-coming trends in the hospitality industry, and food trucks are definitely in,” said Adams. “In the cities where many of our students want to go work, there is a large population of food trucks and trailers, so it seemed a natural fit for us to have one.”

“We wanted to do something different for our students,” said Hirst. “They’ve done a lot of dinners and fine dining experiences at Willow Ridge, and we wanted to do something different so they can get the experience of preparing and serving food with speed.”

对于学生来说，这将是一个快速的过渡，从精致的餐厅到食品拖车。 “They’ll be at Willow Ridge on Wednesdays and Thursdays and will be ready Friday morning to set up and work the trailer.”

随着拖车配备的工具，可能性是无限的。 “It’s a mobile kitchen, really,” he said. “We’ll be able to do multiple types of cuisine - sushi, bowls, Asian dishes. 它有很多电源插座，所以我们可以插入额外的设备-烤炉，披萨烤箱。 We should be able to serve everything from a roasted hog to pizzas.”

“We’re excited to get started with it this fall. It’s going to be a great learning opportunity for our students and a fun experience for our faculty, staff, and communities.”
