Kitchen Scholars of the Q.C. Learning about food the fun way

COVER STORY: Now, we all know about the big culinary schools, from Uptown's Johnson & Wales University to the Community Culinary School on Monroe Road, but there are plenty of other opportunities for more casual students of food lore to pick up a wide variety of skills, whether it be deboning a chicken or choosing a cocktail. The faculty of this unofficial School of Dining is just as passionate as any chef instructor when it comes to sharing their knowledge ... and instead of giving you a final grade, they're more likely to give you dinner.
