Congratulations Chef Adam for 2018 Honors!
Chef Adam Weiner of JobTrain, a TABLE of PLENTY favorite, was honored by the Idaho Potato Commission for innovation in teaching the “real world.” He was recognized at the 14th CAFE Leadership Conference.
His commendation describes his involvement with the TABLE of PLENTY and his style of innovative teaching: “Chef Adam combines his passions for teaching and the community in many service projects involving his students, which include baking more than 10,000 cookies for inmates at the county corrections facility and serving dinner monthly to 150 guests—struggling families, elders, homeless and hungry at our TABLE of PLENTY once a month.” Out TOP Guests look forward to the delicious meals he serves every month.
Chef Weiner has served as culinary-arts instructor at JobTrain for 15 years. He describes his philosophy this way: “I do not teach anyone how to cook. I teach everyone how to work in a commercial kitchen.” The expectation of students is to act as employees. His unconventional approach to teaching has helped him earn numerous rave reviews from the foodservice-education community because he prepares students for the real world.
