MEET MY CLASSMATES, 17 QUESTIONS...CHAD

I've been attending school since January during which time I've gotten to know my classmates but since beginning to write about school in April, you haven't gotten the same opportunity. It's long since time that you were introduced to a great bunch of people. This occasional feature, 17 Questions, will give you an idea of who they are, their culinary likes and dislikes and why they decided to go to FCI in the first place.

Chad, left, joined our class in Level Two. He had been in a class which had begun ahead of us but had to take a break for personal reasons. During Level Three Chad, Meg (who you've met before), Tim, Jane and myself formed one group of students that progressed through the different food stations in the restaurant kitchen. It was a pretty cohesive, well-oiled cooking machine.
