This tour opens their eyes and makes them see we are not one classroom. We are a building with different food labs and classrooms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Due to the pandemic, tours have a capacity of only 15 attendees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis event is to welcome potential new students into the MCI facility,\u201d said chef Patrick Mccurry, an assistant professor at the MCI. \u201cI hope it opens up new doors to students that may not have thought of a career in culinary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During the first tasting, attendees feasted on arepas filled with tuna and vegetables, tres leches (a sponge cake soaked in evaporated milk, condensed milk and heavy cream), and Pork Banh Mi (a Vietnamese recipe for a grilled pork sandwich).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe tour offers a diversity of food and a variety of choices,\u201d said Jahkyra Belony, a first-year Miami Fashion Institute design student who attended the tour. \u201cI\u2019m sure not a lot of people have tried the different foods they have cooked, so it really encourages people to try out new foods.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the future, chef Syka hopes to show attendees the Institute\u2019s organic garden.<\/p>\n<p>The next event will be on Nov. 10.
