Culinary events
Each year culinary students prepare international cuisines during the annual Grand Traverse Tasters' Guild. This benefit auction is held at the Hagerty Center on our Great Lakes Campus.
Our annual Great Lakes~Great Chefs Dinner gives you the opportunity to brush shoulders with the region's finest chefs. The inaugural event in 2009 featured Pete Peterson of Tapawingo fame. He donated his time and wealth of experience as a chef/restaurateur to serve as a chef-in-residence with our students. The dinner raises funds to provide for future guest chefs-in-residence at the Great Lakes Culinary Institute.
