CCC&TI Launches New Carry Out Cuisine on Watauga Campus

HUDSON, NC (January 12, 2017)…Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute’s Watauga Campus Culinary Arts program will begin offering “Carry Out Cuisine” events this spring to the general public. Main entrees and sides are prepared by the Watauga Campus Skills II class. Salads are prepared by the Garde Manger I class and fresh bread is prepared by the Baking class.

CCC&TI’s Watauga Campus added a new professional kitchen space in the Occupational Training Facility in 2015, which allowed the college to begin offering the Culinary Arts program on both campuses.

The new “Carry Out Cuisine” events will offer the public an opportunity to enjoy gourmet fare at a reasonable price, while also helping CCC&TI’s Watauga Campus Culinary Arts students a chance to apply their classroom knowledge in a real-world setting.
