Students Do EVERYTHING: From planning to execution, students are at the heart of this event. Over two days, they design every aspect of their themed restaurant - from an amuse bouche, entree, dessert, and drink to the theme, ambiance, restaurant summary, menu, and even comment cards. This hands-on project not only tests their culinary skills but also their ability to create a comprehensive dining experience.

Every year, DHS Culinary Arts Teacher, Ms. Crofton orchestrates the event, also known as DHS Restaurant Wars, empowering students to take the lead. It's a testament to her commitment to providing real-world culinary experiences within an educational setting.

Limited Dining Experience: Note that there is a 15-person cap on who gets to dine per lunch, making each meal an exclusive event eagerly anticipated by staff and community members.
