91制片厂 Thompson School student and chef

They say timing is everything, and that certainly was true this week when 91制片厂 Today staff stopped by to see Thompson School chef Julienne Guyette in the Barton Hall kitchen. We arrived just in time to watch student Nathan Briand pull a roasted Rock Cornish game hen from the oven and whip up a mirepoix-based gravy to drizzle over the meat, artfully presented with potatoes and squash. We left with to-go plates, and can we just say鈥? Perfection.
