Not every kitchen job is glamorous. But they all matter.

Prepping lettuce may not be the most exciting job in the kitchen, but it still takes speed, care and attention.

For students in The Food Services Training Program, the everyday tasks are part of learning what a real working kitchen actually looks like.

The food is ready. Now the team has a quick behind the scene photo op

After the prep, plating and finishing touches, Chef Ric and the team took a moment with some of the dishes they had just prepared for a catering event.

It’s easy to see the finished food. What you don’t always see are the hours of work, coordination and attention that happen before everything is ready to leave the kitchen.

Here’s a little peek at the team who made it happen.

Planning an event of your own? The Chef Ric’s catering team would be happy to talk about what you have in mind.

A quick grab-and-go option takes careful prep behind the counter.

There is slicing, assembling, organizing and making sure every item is ready to go.

For students in The Food Services Training Program, preparing grab-and-go items is a chance to practice consistency, organization and attention to detail in a working kitchen.

And this batch is looking pretty good . Have you tried our grab and go sandwiches ?.

Could you teach the next class?

Chef Matt of the restaurant Tredici recently joined students in The Food Services Training Program for a classroom session, sharing his time and industry experience with the group.

Guest chefs bring something to FSTP that you cannot get from a textbook: their own perspective, experiences and lessons from working in the industry and we’d like to welcome more of them.

If you’re a chef or food-service professional with something you’d be interested in sharing with our students a technique, an area of expertise, or simply what you’ve learned along the way we’d love to hear from you.

Interested in leading a future session? Send us a DM.

Some of the best work in the kitchen happens side by side.

This is a good reminder that teamwork is at the heart of everything we do at Chef Ric’s.

From prep to service, every meal comes together through shared effort, skill, and care.
