Jim Trebbien is retiring as head of the Institute For the Culinary Arts at Metropolitan Community College. During his 52-year career in the food game, Trebbien was the chef at a variety of venues ranging from fancy restaurants to a military prison. In 1985, he began building MCC’s cooking program into what has become one of the nation’s top culinary education centers. Many of Omaha’s finest chefs were trained by Trebbien and his staff. Leo Adam Biga’s story about Trebbien begins on page 10.
