Our culinary students had an amazing hands-on experience today at our local Hardee’s! They rolled up their sleeves and got to work — making biscuits from scratch, frying up golden chicken, and whipping up delicious omelets alongside the Hardee’s team.

A huge thank you to Hardee’s for opening their kitchen and giving our students this incredible opportunity!
