Going to a (primarily) culinary school has some seriously delicious benefits. Besides the scrumptious meals provided everyday in our dining halls, we have over a dozen food focused clubs and organizations that host all kinds of foodie fun. From beer to desserts and from old school to modern techniques there is a club for just about every aspect of the culinary industry. Even Campus Dining hosts special events to stuff us even further.
The line up for this month is as exciting as ever. Besides feeding us many of the events’ goals are to teach us through hands on learning in our state of the art culinary labs. The first event, however, is just for fun.

The brand new Modernist Cuisine Club is here to walk us through the latest in food trends. According to their event page on the Involvement Network, Espumas is a Spanish term for a food consisting of nothing more than air and bubbles. Wondering how this is food and why is it so good? Me too, so I will see you at HAL 4 on Tuesday January 12 at 8pm.
