Tribe's culinary arts school open
Mississippi: The Choctaw Tribal School's Occupational Training Center is
making it easier for students to learn the culinary arts. A full service
Warrior Cafe has opened and is staffed by the students in the OTC's culinary
program. Two different classes operate the cafe: the first year beginner class
works on baking deserts, while the advanced second year class prepares the main
courses. There are also four students in the waitress class who serve the
meals to the patrons. "We are trying to prepare the kids for future careers,"
said Cathy Cheatham, who runs the program. Cheatham said that the students are
really enjoying the program, and their favorite part is when grateful patrons
leave tips for the servers and cooks. Two students involved in the program
said their favorite part of the process is when customers enjoy their meals.
"It makes us feel good when they do that," one said. "We like meeting people
and it makes us feel good to see them enjoying the food that we prepare."
