2008 Chapter of the Year |
The first ACF Atlanta ACT Center culinary class series is now complete, and what a tremendous learning experience for the 25 culinarians who participated. Thank you to Food Sales East – Georgia for the use of their incredible facilitiy. This Cold Food Prep Class was the first of many culinary related classes to be held at the ACF Atlanta ACT Center. Most importantly, a very special thanks to Chef Rusty Sigmon, Food Sales East-Georgia corporate chef, for coordinating the ACT Center’s classes.
The classes would not have been possible without the dedication, insight and instruction of Executive Chef Daryl Shular, CEC. Chef Shular was a member of the 2008 ACF Regional Culinary Olympic Team. Chef Shular prepared a cold food platter for competition so the students could see ACF Gold Medal competition craftmanship up close and personal with a Q&A session that followed.
During the last class, participants took part in a mock cold food competition where plates and platters were brought in for judging and critiques. Executive Chef Kevin Walker, CMC from the Cherokee Town and Country Club assisted Chef Shular with the critiques. Chef Walker is the National Chair of the ACF Competition Comittee.
Please keep watch for more classes to come.

Instructor
Marie Johnson of Shekinah recognized the great need in childrenʼs lives to
become aware of better food nutrition. Seeing the increase in childhood
obesity and knowing it is directly linked to a poor diet, Marie started TOT's
Kitchen. With little to no backing she began going into schools
teaching children about food and giving them a chance to have hands on
experience with food preparation. Chef Malika Robins a long time
member of the ACF Greater Atlanta Chapter brought Instructor Johnson’s project
to the attention of the Atlanta chapter. Seeing the value in what she was
trying to accomplish, the ACF Greater Atlanta Chapter began helping TOT's
Kitchen financially. If you or your organization would like to make a
donation to this worthy cause please contact Chef Malika Robins at,

We would like to thank Carman-Girard Associates for their generous donation of shelving to the TOT’s
Kitchen program.
