Chef Shadow

This past Friday, some of the other ambassadors and I got to work with three chefs conducting a the Chef Shadow program that Sullivan puts on from time to time!  It was a really neat experience to see how the students reacted in an environment, that I deal with all the time, for the first time.  The kitchen can be a very loud, very hectic place.  It is also a lot of fun!

At first, these students were a little petrified.  Some of their hands were shaking, which made me a little nervous because we were handing them knives, but after just a few hours I watched their attitudes change.  They went from scared and nervous, to confident and proud of the food that they put on the table for lunch.

I remember being like that, only one short year ago, and Sullivan has really helped my confidence in the kitchen!  I hope it can do the same for some of these kids!
