With dreams of small business over empire, LA Trade Tech culinary students are built for this moment
DECEMBER 8, 2020
If you need more proof that the world is on hold, drive over to the Los Angeles Trade Technical College campus in South Central Los Angeles, freeway-close, as they say, to both the 10 and the 110. That big, modern building is the community college’s new culinary school, all $48 million and 71,100 square feet of it, vacant except for work crews who unload and install $76,000 ovens from Switzerland, 40- and 60-quart dough mixers, and combi-ovens that enable a student to use steam heat or dry heat or both.
