Dine at the Chef’s Table in the Latin Cuisines Kitchen as You Watch Your
Meal Being Prepared
San Antonio, TX –
The ultimate opportunity for the serious food enthusiasts is being offered for
a limited time at The Culinary Institute of America (CIA), San Antonio. Between February and April 2016,
the college is offering five pop-up Latin-themed dinners at a chef’s table
inside the Latin Cuisines kitchen on campus.
Join the CIA’s Director of Latin Studies
Sergio Remolina and his students for an exclusive
opportunity to dine in the CIA’s authentic Latin Cuisines kitchen, where you
will be surrounded by the sights and smells of ingredients indigenous to Latin
America. In the intimate setting of the student’s teaching kitchen, you and
just 15 others will share a communal table and have the opportunity to see how
the dishes are prepared for you while also having the opportunity to interact
directly with the students and Chef Remolina.
The students are part of the college’s Latin Cuisines concentration, in which they study the history and cultures of Central and
South America and the Caribbean, gain in-depth knowledge of the nations and
cultures, and add a valuable specialization in some of the world’s most
exciting cuisines.
“This is a great opportunity to watch the students create
and prepare recipes inspired from their Latin Cuisine studies in a professional
kitchen,” says Chef Remolina. “But make your
reservations early; we have only 16 seats available for each of these exclusive
meals.”

- Cooking with Corn—Friday, February 5, 2016
