Approximately 40 CSCA student chefs and alumni worked with Michael Bowen, executive chef at Paramount Studios, and other key chefs to prepare the ingredients for the many dishes that were served at the awards show on September 7. The CSCA crew assisted with plating, chopping, prepping and carving for Sunday's festivities, rotating between morning, afternoon and evening shifts over the five days leading up to the show.
Students from CSCA, who are trained in the world-renowned Le Cordon Bleu techniques taught by CSCA chef instructors, have assisted with many high-profile entertainment industry events, including the prestigious Governor's Ball following the Oscars.
"Working the MTV Music Awards is a great way for students to prepare for a career. For many it is a once in a lifetime experience," said Rebecca Marrs, CSCA director of career services.
The menu consisted of a Mediterranean array of dishes which ranged from French to Moroccan cuisine. Some highlights from the menu included, Kafka tangier, Moroccan style meatballs, studded with fresh preserved lemon, parsley, mint, coriander & scallion served with a cool cucumber yogurt sauce and Rosemary Crusted chilled beef tenderloins, served with crusty pieces of split ciabatta.
