Bush Campus Culinary Arts seniors recently had the privilege of learning from Chef Michael Lanahan, owner of The Cellar in Corning, NY. Chef Lanahan, joined by a colleague from his restaurant, delivered an inspiring live demonstration, sharing expert techniques and insights from the professional kitchen.
Following the demonstration, students rolled up their sleeves and recreated the featured dishes—salmon with gnocchi—using ingredients generously donated by Chef Lanahan himself. This hands-on experience offered students a unique opportunity to refine their culinary skills and gain real-world perspective from industry professionals.
A heartfelt thank you to Chef Lanahan and his team for investing in the next generation of culinary talent.
