At Austin Community College: Highland Campus the culinary arts program is having a dinner menu for select nights over the next few weeks and my boyfriend and I got to try it! It is open to the public but they have a small window for service. Opens at 6pm and last sitting is at 6:45pm to close at 8pm.
Beverages are included and all other items are $5! All they ask is that you leave a comment card about your experience.
Hamachi Crudo: The fish was great but slightly overpowered by the pineapple
Charres Octopus: Cooked perfectly but could've used a little bit more flavor. The green garbanzo beans were delicious!
Rock Shrimp Create: My favorite of the night, shrimp was cooked well with good flavors. Only thing is it may have been over oiled.
Kale and Mushroom pizza: My least favorite of the evening as it was also very oily.
We didn't get dessert as we were full by this point, but what we saw being brought out looked so good!
Realizing these are student chefs they did quite a great job and the service was good. I hope they keep offering this throughout the coming semesters.
