Chef Mavro Hosts Restaurant Reality for LCC students
LCC students Christian Panganiban and Jonathan Ching worked in the Chef Mavro kitchen with Chef du Cuisine Kevin Chong and his team. They learned first-hand from Chef Mavro and Sommelier Todd Ashline wine pairings and five diamond service.
The students and instructor Don Maruyama were treated to the 13 course Chef Mavro menu as a part of the experience. Here is what Christian had to say about his experience:
“The finale of dining in your AAA five diamond restaurant was so outstanding that what I could put in words does not justify the way I truly felt. The service and timing was impeccable and the food was excellent. Also, this was the first time I dined with wine tasting. I was utterly blown away by how properly paired wine truly does enhance a dish. I loved the way hints of various flavors in the wines took the total taste of the food to a whole other level. I told Chef Don that when I cook I wish that everyone that eats my food can feel the way I felt during those moments. It was impressively awesome. I will always remember that meal.” Christian Panganiban
