Temple University School of Tourism and Hospitality Management 15th Anniversary Event Cooks Up
October 15, 2013 Philadelphia, PA - Fifteen of Philadelphia’s finest chefs prepared 15 meals for 15 tables (each with 15 guests) at an event with a most- appropriate title: Fifteen.
This was not a Top Chef contest or a James Beard Foundation cook-off. Fifteen celebrated the Temple University School of Tourism and Hospitality Management’s (STHM) 15th anniversary – and raised more than $100,000 for scholarships to support current and future students. Fifteen gave STHM an opportunity to showcase its uniqueness and bring together some Philadelphia flavor.
“I’ve never heard of a school becoming world renowned in just 15 years,” said Steven Korman, who has chaired the STHM Dean’s Council for more than a decade. “It’s really very unique.”
“The event was flawless, with 225 guests unanimously
stating that the dinner from their individual chef was superb,” Associate Dean Elizabeth Barber said. “The uniqueness of having a chef serve you at the table was not only fun and entertaining, the environment was also special.”
“I was happy to participate in an event that celebrates the education of our industry,” said Michael Fiorello, a chef with Garces Restaurant Group.
STHM has come a long way in a short period of time. The school has more than 900 students and 3,000 alum- ni, making it one of the largest schools of its kind in the country.
