Tupelo restaurants to host dinner and demo series sponsored by ICC

Sep. 27—TUPELO — Three Tupelo restaurants will host a dinner and demo series in October sponsored by Itawamba Community College.

The first will take place Oct. 12 at 4:30 p.m. at Forklift with chef Cooper Miller. Additional sessions are scheduled for October 17 at 5:30 p.m. at Neon Pig with chef Brooke Ramsey and Oct. 24 at 6 p.m. at Park Heights with chef Tom Lester.

"The chefs at each location will provide a demonstration related to the dinner preparation, which will follow," said Josh Gammill, ICC director of Continuing Education, which is cosponsoring the series with the Food Management Certification pathway. "The three local restaurants and their executive chefs have created a unique interactive experience for participants."

Limited seating is available. The price per experience is $55 per person or $100 per couple. For the series experience, which includes all three events, the price is $150 per person or $275 per couple.

"This is an exciting partnership that will not only afford our students, but also the local community, an opportunity for an intimate experience with these local chefs," Christy Scheuer, Food Management Certification pathway director, said. "Each of their styles is different, which I think will truly stand out not only with their demos, but also their dinner offering."
