Student dinners offer fine fare

Had your share of casserole and pizza recently? Students in ISU's "fine dining management" class this fall have the ticket for you: themed evening dinners, including multiple courses and entertainment, in the Joan Bice Underwood Tearoom, MacKay Hall.

The first, a "culinary tribute to theater," will be held Wednesday, Nov. 12, and includes a mix of live vocal and instrumental music from four stage productions: Chicago, Les Miserables, Miss Saigon and Phantom of the Opera. Karla Boetel, executive chef with ISU Dining, will serve as head chef.

The second dinner will be held Wednesday, Dec. 10. Menu items will honor American tycoons, including Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, Henry Ford, Warren Buffett, Donald Trump and Oprah Winfrey. Kurt Chausse, chef at Aunt Maude's restaurant, Ames, will prepare the meal.

The dinners begin at 6 p.m. Tickets are $55 per person and available in 1055 LeBaron or by calling 4-9371. Reservations are required.
