The Met & Kids Can Cook Team-up For a Good Cause

The Metropolitan Club is proud to partner with Kids Can Cook, which provides inner city students from Boston middle schools with an innovative and educational after-school experience that teaches important life skills through the art and science of cooking. Chef Jeff Fournier has opened his kitchen to six spectacular students from Kids Can Cook. For three weeks, Jeff will show his young proteges the joys and rewards of the life of a chef. At the end of the program, the students will make their professional debut at a special event at The Metropolitan Club!

“Whether I am in a classroom or dining room, my goal is to expose people to the possibilities of food,” says Jeff. “I would like to show kids that being a chef is one of the most interesting and exciting ways of life you could choose.”
