Publisher’s Note: Omega Omega Omega (Tri Omega), the culinary
fraternity at the Institute for the Culinary Arts at Metropolitan
Community College, strives to provide students with opportunities to
apply and develop their skills through unique experiences. One of these
experiences is the Supper Club. The Supper Club selects a restaurant
once a quarter and works with the chef of the restaurant to provide
a unique dining experience to challenge the palate and minds of the
students with the unique ingredients and techniques found in that
chef ’s kitchen.

The Grey Plume located in Midtown Crossing.
The atmosphere of the Plume is contemporary with hints of
traditional décor. The ambiance allows guests to feel relaxed in their
fine dining experience, without sacrificing any of the elegance that
the Plume has to offer. A window behind the bar provides a peek of
the chef ’s hustling in the kitchen to create the evening’s delectable
courses. Being able to observe the chef ’s grace and quick hands in
the kitchen adds to the magic of the Plume’s cuisine.
On this night, the students of Tri Omega would be enjoying a
seven-course menu featuring some items from the menu, and some
crated specifically for Tri Omega.
“For club members that had yet to
experience a fine dining level of
food and service, new goals and
aspirations were made that night.”
The first course was the charcuterie board, which is off
