Joey Allison - Senior Captone Project

On Thursday evening, Joey Allison, Alvirne senior who has participated in our culinary program for three years, and a group of his peers, served a three-course meal consisting of French onion soup, a breaded chicken with vegetables and a corn and bacon risotto, as well as homemade fruit tarts. In addition, Joey made homemade focaccia bread oils. This meal was served to over 40 people as part of his Senior Capstone project.

When Joey was asked what he learned from this project, Joey described perseverance as one lesson learned. Joey stated, " One thing I learned while I was completing this dinner was not everything is going to go perfect. Whether you have a few bumps in the road or not, you have to keep cruising along and try and fix and repair the small things as you go."

All money raised (including the cost of the food) is being donated to the Hudson Food Pantry, where Joey volunteered.
