Welcome to Course Restaurant, an upscale dining experience within the Great Plains Culinary Institute on the Lincoln Campus of Southeast Community College.
Students in SCC’s Culinary/Hospitality program work in all facets of the restaurant, including cooking, preparing, serving, and hosting. Rack of lamb and herb-crusted beef tenderloin are examples of menu options.
Course is unique because the view to the kitchen is open, so guests are part of the learning environment and can see education happening. Students are preparing and serving guests during their class time.
The Great Plains Culinary Institute became part of a $4.2 million expansion of the Culinary/Hospitality program. It includes the full-service restaurant, teaching kitchens/labs, a demonstration kitchen, a bakery, and storage space. Students learn in a real-life restaurant environment.
