Demos & Lectures

Meet The Culinary Entrepreneurs is an exclusive lecture series featuring some of America's top food business experts. Held throughout the year at ICE, these sessions introduce students and the public to the world’s leading restaurateurs, specialty food retailers, caterers and other culinary business proprietors, who have established highly regarded national and international brands. The ongoing series was designed to complement ICE’s Restaurant & Culinary Management program, which trains students with career goals of owning or operating a restaurant or other food business.

Chefs and industry experts visit our campus to demonstrate specialty techniques, host guided tastings or participate on panels for students. These special guests have covered everything from California olive oil and produce to tea tastings, pasta and pizza demos, and career advice on food photography, cookbook writing, partnering with purveyors, leadership and more.
