NEW YORK (WABC) -- Talk about a real-life experience: Culinary students in Westchester County are putting their cooking to the test. The students run their own restaurant. Eyewitness News reporter Lauren Glassberg is here with the details.
Chelsea Geyer is a senior at Mahopac High School, but when she's not in class she's cooking at the BOCES Tech Center. Here students train in industries they're interested in. "I enjoy it," Chelsea says, "because the pressure.. i like it, it drives me."
The group is interested in all things culinary, so they learn to wait tables, hosting, cooking and baking. And now, their skills are being put to the test as their classroom is transformed into a full working restaurant, "The Educated Palate."
