In celebration of Black History Month, Enterprise Foundation Dining Services collaborated with the African American Student Council for a Mardi Gras Dinner.

The special event occurred on February 21st from 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm at Centerpointe Dining Commons. Guests enjoyed live music from the Cal Poly Pomona Jazz Band, a photo station, free giveaways, games and awesome prizes!

Centerpointe’s executive Chef Kris handcrafted the Cajun menu, including smoked alligator ribs, smoked alligator sausage, fried fish po boy, house-made spicy pickles, chicken and crawfish etouffee, fried okra and much more!

Chef Kris teamed up with Collins College students to teach a live, hands-on demonstration of an alligator fabrication. The demonstration was filmed and streamed on YouTube Live on February 17th, which can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGjh4aFMTKU

The students that took part in the fabrication were also employed at Centerpointe and were greatly involved with preparing other menu items.
