December 12, 2022
Culinary students from ĢƵ Technical Community College showed off their skills at the 11th annual Taste of ĢƵ in Washington, D.C., hosted by the ĢƵ State Chamber of Commerce and honorary host U.S. Senator Chris Coons.
This annual event is held the first week of December in honor of ĢƵ’s ratification of the Constitution on Dec. 7, 1787. What started as a small office party with Grotto Pizza and Dogfish Head in its first year has since grown to attract more than 600 attendees and over 20 vendors each year. This year’s Taste of ĢƵ showcased food and drinks from more than two dozen establishments in the First State, including culinary arts students from ĢƵ Tech and Delcastle Technical High School. Also in attendance were some ĢƵ Tech alumni, such as Dan Tagle (’99) from Drip Café and Kaila Brench (’19) from Pizza by Elizabeths.
Among the other restaurants and vendors represented were BBC Tavern in Greenville, Home Grown Café in Newark, Kee’s Cookies & Cupcakes in Clayton, The Starboard in Dewey Beach, UDairy Creamery, and Waggies in Wilmington.
