BRAVO Top Cheftestant, Tiffany Derry, returns to Seattle to cook a special dinner August 15. TRACE and The International Culinary School at the Art Institute will grant $5,000 in student scholarships this month during this event!
In January of this year, TRACE at W Seattle and The International Culinary School at The Art Institute of Seattle embarked on a partnership designed to bring real-time access, experiences and funding to students seeking a career path in the culinary industry. In addition to mentoring and internship opportunities, the partnership was established to allow for the fundraising of scholarships to benefit existing culinary students. The partnership kicked off in January with a celebratory event at Trace featuring celebrity chef Tiffany Derry, alumni of the Art Institute Houston, who heavily advocates for the program.
On Thursday, August 15, Chef Derry will return to Seattle to collaborate with Chef de Cuisine Steven Ariel and Art Institute students to create a five course, “South Meets Pacific Northwest” dinner honoring dishes and ingredients from both chefs’ roots. The cost of the dinner is $65 per person (plus tax and gratuity) with an optional wine pairing at $30 per person with partial proceeds to benefit the Trace and AIS Education Scholarship fund. At the dinner, the first of the grants will be made with one student to receive $3,500 and one to receive $1,500. The dinner will be held at Trace. Please call (206) 264-6060 to make reservations.
