Culinary giants joined forces to mark the 25th anniversary of the Visiting Chef Series at Penn College, an event celebrated in a new video on the college's YouTube channel. "Louisiana's culinary ambassador to the world" Chef John Folse, along with his renowned restaurant partner Chef Rick Tramonto, internationally heralded Pastry Chef Donald Wressell and Penn College alum Chef Elaine Gardner worked side-by-side in April with School of Business & Hospitality students to prepare an elegant, five-course fundraising dinner at the college's Le Jeune Chef Restaurant. "Nothing speaks success more than growth," Folse says. "So when you see the growth at a facility – the growth of the kitchens; the growth of the student body; the quality of the instructors; the support of the community; tonight, we have another sell-out crowd – what does that say? That says that there's real wonderful happenings here. ... There's just no doubt about it: There's something great happening in culinary here at Penn College. I want to be here just to continue to see what's gonna happen next!"
