Chef Adrian with Bella Vita Bistro provided an incredible learning opportunity for the ProStart students at Wichita High School East and Wichita Heights High School. Bella Vita Bistro is closed on Sunday’s, but this last Sunday his restaurant was open to invited guests for ProStart students to showcase their delicious menus they presented at the last ProStart Student Invitational. Under the guidance of Chef Adrian, Mr. Loudermilk with East and Mr. G with Heights, ProStart students took over the front of the house, and back of the house as they greeted guests, prepared and served food. Students did a fabulous job! Thank you to Chef Adrian, and to these two instructors for all your time in making this happen for these students!
