School district to give students a taste of college dining with weeklong event

Thomas County Schools in Thomasville, Ga., is hosting a “Taste of College” event next month, allowing students at the district to sample dishes served in the dining halls at five different colleges in the state.

During the last week in April, school nutrition professionals at Thomas County will prepare recipes submitted by chefs at Georgia State University, Georgia Southern University, Georgia Tech, Abraham Baldwin Agriculture College and the University of Georgia.

The featured recipes are ones that are popular with students on campus, such as chicken tikka masala, pork loin with red onion confit and jambalaya.
