Philly Cheese Steak Mission Style!

Aaron and Joey are two of our new Culinary Students.  They have started the Culinary Program at Contra Costa College.  In addition to their duties at their school, they will be stagiaires in our Kitchen!

Chris our cook spent the day with these two culinary scholars as they prepared remarkable Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches. With a twist. Chris instructed his crew on how to take this common regional fast food dish and transform it into a gourmet delight!

The packaged rolls where replaced with hoggies baked in house by Vickie and our other baking students.  The 40 pounds of steak was hand sliced and carefully seasoned before it was cooked in our Tilt Grill.  40 pounds each of Bell Peppers and Onions where julianed and sautéed in olive oil.  For the cheese? None of that orange glue shot out of a can.  They used pounds of Sonoma Pepper Jack to compliment the other carefully selected ingredients. 

We like  to take common familiar dishes and turn them into gourmet  meals.  Our staff and dinners quickly recognize the item, then are amazed by what classic techniques and fresh ingredients can do!
