Students in John O’Connell High School’s culinary arts and management class will be showing off their culinary skills to the Board of Education Tuesday night. The students served a turkey dinner to their teachers a few weeks ago. Tonight they’ll be serving spiced lamb sirloin with mint, cilantro and garlic béarnaise, plus white beans and braised greens from the school’s garden, to board commissioners and district officials.
O’Connell’s culinary arts program is headed up by chef Dan Scherotter, who recently sold his San Francisco restaurant Palio D’Asti to teach a culinary arts and management program called ProStart.
