Ever wonder what happens during a culinary critique? 👨🍳🍽️
We stepped inside Chef Zac’s Senior Culinary Capstone class to see exactly how our instructors judge a student’s final plate. For this challenge, students recreated a high-end dish inspired by legendary chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
Watch to see how Chef Zac breaks down what went right, what needs adjustment, and how these future chefs can elevate their technical skills before graduation.

A surprise visit from Chef Sean Brock in Senior Capstone 🔥👨🍳
Chef Zac’s students were in the middle of recreating some of @hseanbrock `s dishes when he walked into the kitchen for an unexpected visit. He talked with the class, shared his story, and even jumped in to help students with their prep work. An unforgettable moment for our future chefs.
Sean Brock is a James Beard Award winning chef known for his work in Southern and Appalachian cuisine, his dedication to preserving heirloom ingredients, and his influential restaurants across Nashville. His approach to craft and creativity has shaped modern Southern cooking, and hearing directly from him was an incredible experience for our seniors.
