Summerfest 2009: Junior Chefs Camp

Designed to introduce basic kitchen techniques and provide a hands-on opportunity to prepare popular and simple recipes, young aspiring culinary students will learn the secrets of the profession from Gaylord Texan’s executive chefs. Each Junior Chef will rotate throughout interactive kitchen stations learning techniques on table setting, serving styles and hands-on cooking specifics. At the program’s conclusion, two guests (i.e. parents, siblings, grandparents) will be invited back to enjoy a three-course luncheon, hosted and served by their very own “Junior Chef.”
