On June, 3rd 2011, Solpine Restaurant and the Woosong Tower hosted the 2011 Culinary Arts Exhibition. In attendance were students, families, friends, and teachers. Attendees got to experience a variety of foods, took pictures and enjoyed all the festivities that surrounded the exhibition.
Woosong tower was alive all night prior to the grand opening, setting up tables for lunch, preparing ingredients and decorating exhibition hall. It was clear to all that many people worked really hard for this exhibition. Participating students for this event prepared for much of the spring semester. Each team had their own concept and presented their story, e.g., “Restaurant Businesses”.
Aside from the food, there were many other exhibits that guests could participate in. There was a photo zone for pictures taken by a professional photographer. A “Prayer Tree” was available to leave prayers and hopes of individuals. Photo booths were installed for graduating senior group pictures. Moreover, everyone that celebrated the “Graduate Culinary Arts Exhibition”, ranging from 2-4 year Woosong Culinary Arts Academy students, really seemed to have a great time.
It seems as if everything went perfectly, but as with any major event there were a few things that visitors found needed improvement. Guests had to wait quite a long time to have lunch because there were not enough tables and helpers. The lack of parking also presented an issue. Due to a higher than expected turnout of guests, many attendees had trouble finding parking. For Woosong Tower in this case, supply and demand didn’t match up. However, this provided a great opportunity for Woosong to make better preparations for next year’s exhibition.
With this in mind, next year is expected to be much better. If you weren’t there, or even if you are not a Culinary Arts student, don’t miss next year’s 2012 Culinary Arts Exhibition for good food, good friends, and good times.
