Chef Jet Cooks at USM

Food Network star and nationally celebrated chef Jet Tila was a special guest at University School of Milwaukee on Tuesday, March 14. His day-long visit included cooking demonstrations for Middle School and Upper School students, lunch-time visits with Preschool and Lower School students, a meet-and-greet and autograph signing event, and—of course—samplings of his delicious food prepared by FLIK Independent School dining staff.

His visit was sponsored by FLIK, USM’s food service provider, as part of its Celebrity Chef series. It was organized and further supported by Jeff King, director of dining services.
