VWCTC Students Tour US Foods

The Vicksburg Warren Career and Technical Education Center’s Culinary II students toured the U.S. Foods Plant in Jackson in September. At the facility, students were shown how both cold and dry food are stored, as well as how food was distributed to the various grocery stores and restaurants. The students continued with the tour and were able to cook with one of the U.S. Foods chefs, Connor Wolf. Under Wolf’s tutelage, students learned how to make simple restaurant appetizers such as spring rolls, potato crisps and fried cauliflower bites. Wolf, along with the U.S. Foods staff, explained how they assist restaurants with menu design and food choices. Overall, the tour of the facility was an excellent experience for these future chefs.
