The Hilltopper Restaurant

The HILLTOPPER is now closed for the semester.

For their end-of-the-semester project, the students were assigned to research the cuisine of Italy and the diversity of ingredients, foods, and dishes in the area assigned to them. They were to document the history of what, why, and how these regions created signature dishes. 

Each student researched and chose a well-known dish representing the region’s cuisine. This menu will be prepared and served on our last days of service for the semester.

We thank everyone for supporting the culinary arts program and look forward to seeing you again soon.

The Hilltopper Restaurant is a unique learning experience for our students. It is open to the public and serviced by Academy students to provide a real-world restaurant experience. Students are instructed in food procurement and preparation, customer service and dining room management, food safety, and the financial management of a business establishment.

Students utilize the Hilltopper Restaurant as a “working classroom”, developing entry level culinary skills needed for success in the food service industry or continuing education. Standard level courses offered in our Hospitality Restaurant Management and Culinary Principles provide students’ hands-on instruction to build skills while learning kitchen safety and sanitation. They are introduced to Hospitality career pathways and an introduction to front of the house operations.

Students are required to be trained in ServSafe that is a food and beverage certificate program administered by the U.S. National Restaurant Association where they can earn an Industry Recognized Credential.
