“The Culinary Careers Program (C•CAP), the charitable beneficiary of Manhattan Beach Food & Wine, is a national workforce development nonprofit dedicated to training and supporting the next generation of food and hospitality leaders. They provide culinary arts education, job skills, apprenticeships, scholarships, and career opportunities to under-resourced high school students and adults.”

C•CAP students are working in each restaurant booth this evening at Manhattan Beach Food & Wine actively assisting the executive chefs from the participating restaurants. They actually get “billing” at each restaurant station.

C•CAP’s long-time Los Angeles Director, Lisa Fontanesi, joins us.
