A “friendship bridge” program conceived by The College of William & Mary (W&M) Chinese Parents Association recently sent the school’s Sodexo dining team to visit their culinary counterparts in multiple locations in Hong Kong and The People’s Republic of China. The team included Campus Executive Chef Timothy Grayson, Catering Executive Chef Craig Stevens, Sadler Executive Chef Gregory Weaver and Commons Executive Chef Stephen Moore.

The goal of the friendship bridge program is to provide Chinese students at W&M a greater opportunity to enjoy authentic Chinese dishes in the current dining program menu mix.

The team visited Hong Kong, Shenyang, Shanghai, Beijing, and the Shenzhen and Guangzhou regions of China for hands-on training.

Here’s a photo roundup of their culinary adventures.
