Learning by doing can really make a difference, and we’re always happy to give culinary students that direct experience through events like Noble Chef.
It’s a huge annual fundraiser for University of Hawai‘i Maui College (UHMC) and its renown culinary program. The popular event always touts a fun theme (this year was “White Christmas”), and features a walk-around cocktail reception with light bites and a lavish sit-down dinner. This year, Three’s was stoked to be one of around a dozen restaurants from around Maui involved. Three’s co-owner/chef Travis Morrin, who went through the UHMC Culinary Arts program, has maintained strong ties to the school. He has more in our video above.
Culinary students played a big role in preparing, displaying and serving these Noble Chef menu items, which featured seared scallop over sweet potatoes with coconut corn chowder, candied bacon and shaved Parmesan; along with Tahitian poisson-cru, which is ahi and hamachi lightly marinated in coconut milk and fresh lime, topped with burnt coconut and served with avocado ice cream, Moloka‘i sweet potato and taro chips.
Mahalo to UHMC and the students for a job well done, and we’ll see you next year!!
