Eat A Cookie, Help A Kid…

The Culinary Center of Kansas City is joining millions of people across the country who are making a difference by joining the fight against childhood hunger in America.  YOU can help by stopping by CCKC on Friday or Saturday this week, and buying tasty treats at our Bake Sale to benefit No Kid Hungry.

No Kid Hungry Bake Sale @ The Culinary CenterCulinary Center staff, instructors, students and Junior Chefs will be baking up delicious treats for the bake sale, and 100% of the proceeds will go to No Kid Hungry.

Stop by at the following times to purchase baked delicacies from the sale:

Friday, Sept 22,  11 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.
during our Pop-Up Lunch at The Culinary Center  (see below)

Saturday, Sept 23,   8:30 a.m. until the goodies are gone!
during the Fall Festival in Downtown Overland Park  (see below)

This year, nearly 1 in 6 children across the country struggle with hunger. That’s more than 17 million kids.  Funds raised through the CCKC Bake Sale for No Kid Hungry will be used to support Share Our Strength’s efforts to end childhood hunger in America.  Share Our Strength works to surround kids facing hunger with nutritious food where they live, learn and play.

What’s a Pop-Up Lunch, you ask?Pop-Up Lunch @ The Culinary Center of Kansas City
Formerly known as ‘Tuesday Lunch’, we now host just ‘occasional’ open-to-the-public lunches at The Culinary Center. Our chefs put together an outstanding menu (this week > Authentic Mexican Street Tacos!), all for the fabulous price of $12.95 (+tax).  We can also serve it up ‘to go’, if you must rush back to the office!  You can pay when you get here, or pre-pay on our website and avoid the line (click here for that!)

Here’s the menu for this Friday’s Pop-Up Lunch:

Tacos al Pastor
(roasted pork, pineapple and other goodness served in
homemade corn tortillas. Hey, we don’t fool around.)

Spanish Rice & Beans

Homemade Chips & Salsa

Mexican Flan
