Chef’s Gallery, a student-run restaurant at the non-profit The Art Institute of Dallas, has joined the fight to end childhood hunger. The restaurant will feature a “Meal Through the Arts” menu this week to benefit No Kid Hungry. Every meal purchased during that time will benefit No Kid Hungry.
The specialized menu was created by students via the Meal Through the Arts, a culinary competition that challenged students from the culinary programs across The Art Institutes to enter their top dishes in canapé, salad, entrée and dessert categories. Twelve finalists were selected to prepare the dishes in front of a panel of chef judges in Atlanta. One dish in each category was crowned the winner and, together, form the menu.
The restaurant is located at 8080 Park Lane, Building C. Reservations can be made Tuesday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. by calling 469-587-1276.
