The sixth annual version of Flint Hills Technical College’s The Cut is just two days away and tickets are still available, but you shouldn’t delay in getting yours.
Less than 20 tickets remain for this year’s rendition of The Cut, which will be comprised of celebrity chefs with FHTC culinary arts students serving as their assistants:
*Radius Brewing executive chef and co-owner Justin “Gus” Bays and student sous chef Noah Wiedner
*Do-B’s chef and night manager Chris Linebarger and student sous chef Ava Kimmerly
*Gourmet to Go Catering executive chef and owner Jessica Symmonds and student sous chef Seth Browning
*Culinary Institute of America assistant professor and former Flint Hills Technical College Culinary Arts director Lance Nitihara and student sous chef Anthony Childers
Crouch says with the department in a “transition period” it made sense to change up the format for this year’s event. As always a watch party will be taking place during the competition.
Last year the party was moved outdoors to a tent in the college parking lot due to COVID-19, and Crouch says the setup will be the same for this year.
Proceeds from the event will help the Wrangler Relief Fund and the recently-established Wrangler Ranch food pantry for students in emergency situations. Residents attending The Cut are asked to bring non-perishable food items to get the food pantry started.
The Cut will take place Thursday. Tickets are on sale now at $25 per person. For more information, go online to www.fhtc.edu/foundation or call 620-341-1380.
