CULINARY ARTS CAFE... THAT'S AMORE
Quite possibly one of the tastiest and most affordable fine dining experiences we could find right in our own backyard.
Step inside the courtyard at Palmiter Jr. Sr. High School in Sacramento and you'll see the neon sign "Culinary Arts Cafe" in bright red letters.
Inside, students prepare a meal... salad, sides, main course and dessert... with the help of their educators.
They set up round tables with crisp table clothes, folded cloth napkins and a floral centerpiece.
Students must be 16 years old to qualify for the class, that's part of the Special Education program. Many of the students cook for family members at home and need the experience. Others are getting ready to interview for a real world restaurant job.
The dining experience in few words is charming, filling and unique.

The meal is $6, but the students accept tips.
