My, Lunch Week sure is long! I suppose when you write your own blog you can take some liberties…
FIU Hospitality School reopened its dining room last week. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, student chefs prepare a three course meal for the public. The meal includes appetizer, choice of main course, dessert, wine and coffee or tea for $18. You can make reservations for lunch at 305-919-4500. The dining room will be open through December 4.
