Plattʼs College Culinary Arts Program
After our delightfull dinner at the Plattʼs College Foundations Restaurant on 3/13, Barbara had a brief
meeting with Chef Curt Hermann. Barbara explained our Sister City relationship with Celle and Chef
Hermann who travelled and studied overseas was very receptive to the possibility of an exchange of
cooks with Celle. He felt that this idea would be well worth exploring further.
Barbara discussed the issue with Susanne McDowell from the city of Celle, and Susanne Reineke from
the Deutsch Amerikanische Gesellschaft in Celle, and it was decided to further explore the possibility of
sending a gifted Tulsa Culinary School student to Celle to either attend the Celle Culinary School, or to
“job shadow” one of the chefs at a local restaurant.
There again, the Partnership would offer a stipend to cover some of the costs, and the Platt Culinary
Institute would have to hold some fund raising events to cover the balance of the programʼs cost.
Since Susanne Reinike was visitng Tulsa in late March, a quick decision was made to have her dine at
the Plattʼs College Culinary School on 3/29/12. Susanne had the opportunity to meet with Chef
Curt Hermann who explained the school program, and told us that the school is very interested in an
overseas learning opportunity for its advanced students. After our dinner, we had the pleasure of meeting
one of the students who would participate in this learning program.
