DÍA DE LOS MUERTOS MEXICAN FIESTA DINNER

The creative hardworking culinary students at Oakland Community College Culinary Studies Institute are at it again, this time bringing the flavors of Mexico to the metro Detroit area.

The Mexican feast will take place on Thursday, October 24, 2013 at 6 pm at the Culinary Studies Institute at the Farmington Hills, Orchard Ridge Campus of Oakland Community College. Tickets for the event are $50 a person for a five–course Mexican dining experience. The $50 five–course meal will reflect the food and culture of Mexico to include wine and or beer with the meal service. There will be a prelude of passed appetizers in which guest may purchase a specialty cocktail.

The Events and Catering class plan on providing the guests with an experience of Mexico’s Día de Los Muertos, a national holiday in Mexico, in which Mexicans celebrate their dearly departed loved ones with a celebration of their lives with decorations, favorite foods, and parades. Mexican delicacies will be prepared by the student chefs of the Buffet and Banquets class, while the Baking Merchandising class will be selling Mexican inspired baked goods and pastries before and during the event.
