A Japanese Peruvian Dinner with Chef Brandon Zarb and Rising Stars Academy
However you look at it, Chef Brandon Zarb loves to feed people. A well acclaimed chef and a culinary influence to Rising Stars Academy, Brandon holds the enviable task of mentoring and teaching special needs students the cooking, workplace and life skills needed to become gainfully employed in our modern Metro Detroit food industry. Grounded in and revolving around making the most of their facility, Rising Stars Academy is a myriad of ingenuity enrolling students with disabilities ages 18-26. Amongst offering courses in math, reading and the arts, it houses a hands-on culinary education in a work-based learning program. An on-campus Urban Farm complete with greenhouse herbs, vegetables and chickens. And an on-site restaurant, and full-service kitchen with Chef Brandon Zarb and other professional chefs teaching students classic culinary training from chopping and clean-up to service and plating. Boiled down: an opportunity to change a life, every day. Which brings us to frame. For two special early December evenings, Chef Brandon Zarb will merge traditional Peruvian ingredients and Japanese recipes to present us with a Nikkei dinner experience that’s big on technique and even bigger on flavour. This evening will all be about joy as Chef Brandon’s Rising Stars Academy students will be alongside him in the frame kitchen plating his dishes. Chef Brandon’s profits from these four dinners solely benefit Rising Stars Academy, making these experiences a winter treat for Brandon’s loyal foodie followers as well as new found fans of Rising Stars Academy alike.
