11/28/2007 - Auburn Students Dig Into Vande Rose Farms Pork
Students from Auburn University's Hotel and Restaurant Management program got a taste of Vande Rose Farms Duroc pork on their third annual Epicurean Toug of Northern California. In a November 2007 issue of Food Arts magazine, writer Jane Yoo reports on her May 2007 sojourn with the students in an event designed "to expose students to the culture and cuisin outside of Auburn, Alabama, and to let them experience the industry as customers."
The itinerary included a variety of West Coast locales and the opportunity to engage with many dynamic people in the wine, food and hopsitality industry. They visited hotels, restaurants and wineries and met the people who made those operations successful. Along the way, they got a "taste of the high-low casual dining trend at Napa barbecue joint Barbers Q, owned by Gene Tartaglia, former co-owner of San Francisco retsaurant and bar Mecca, and helmed by former Mecca chef Stephen Barber. Kemiji, Sushi American Style author Traci Griffith, and winemaker Byron Kosuge (a former business partner of Meminji's) joined the students to tear into Vande Rose Farms' pulled pork and coleslaw sliders paired with 2003 Miura Pinot Noir (made with Pisoni grapes).
