                                  Fire’s culinary arts program – bites is the in-house concession and catering initiative of the Fire Historical and Cultural Arts Collaborative working with Youth Opportunities Unlimited-a division of KRESA–and local Chef Howie Peak, in the licensed kitchen of the Milwood United Methodist Church, to provide a Taste the Culinary Arts program for interested students from the Kalamazoo Public Schools and our local colleges.

                                  The program is hands-on instruction in the culinary basics with an emphasis on employability and work experience. The program has already catered multiple events with rave reviews. Your purchasing a lunch delivered hot to your door will help support the program and its goals. To order lunch, go to www.thisisfire.com/BitesLunchMenu.html and follow the directions.
