Event Description
Odyssey de Culinaire is a fundraising and awareness dinner to benefit the Hospitality Career Initiative of the Oklahoma Hospitality Foundation. The event, which is open to the public, features 2 elegant evenings of dining - one in Oklahoma City and one in Tulsa. These benefit dinners have a unique spin that, in years past, has involved the groups of chefs switching cities for an evening to treat attendees to an incredible five-course meal. Foodies rejoice! For the first time ever, chefs will be featured in their home cities. 

The chefs are assisted in their meal preparation by high school students who are currently active in ProStart schools in Oklahoma. Funds raised from the event are used to provide support to students, teachers and schools who are part of the Hospitality Career Initiative, including teacher training and development, materials and resources for student recruitment, assistance with job placement for internships, and graduate employment and industry-driven events for hospitality students.
