On Thursday, September 24th, Chef Shigefumi Tachibe from Chaya Brasserie in Beverly Hills kicked off the new partnership with C-CAP by visiting students in David Papa’s third period culinary class at Hollywood High School. Chef Tachibe, the creator of tuna tartare, demonstrated this dish to students and then gave them a sample for tasting.
Chef Tachibe challenged the entire class to create their own version of tuna tartare. He will be setting a date to return to the classroom and judge the students’ version of this dish. Students will also have an opportunity to visit the Chaya restaurant and see how a professional kitchen operates.
The Chaya Restaurant Group and C-CAP partnership was launched when Chaya agreed to adopt three C-CAP schools. Chaya Brasserie is working with Hollywood High School, Chaya Downtown is working with West Adams High School and Chaya Venice will be working with Westchester High School.
On Monday, November 16th, Chef Tachibe and staff made their second school visit to West Adams High school where they again demonstrated tuna tartare and challenged students to create their own version. Chef Tachibe is scheduled to visit Westchester High School on Monday, November 23rd. The C-CAP staff, teachers and students are grateful to the Chaya group for their support in training and mentoring the next generation of young culinary talent.
