Argentine / Ambassador Kenneth and Le Son Quinn Lecture Dinner: Thursday, Dec. 7
Three years ago, as a way to honor Ambassador Ken Quinn, former President of the World Food Prize Foundation, and his wife, Le Son, we hosted our first guest lecture from Ambassador Quinn. This year, we are excited to invite you to our fourth annual lecture and dinner, with a Q&A to follow our Argentine gourmet meal.
All dinners will be in the Lakeview Dining Room of the ICI, located in Building 7 on the DMACC Ankeny campus. Menus for each dinner will not be published in advance.
The cost for each dinner is $120 per person. Unless otherwise noted in the dinner descriptions above, $40 per person is tax-deductible and will be credited towards membership in the ICI Chef’s Toque Society.
Champagne or sparkling wine reception will begin in the ICI Atrium at 6:00 PM, and dinner will be served at 6:30 PM. Please do not arrive earlier than 5:45, as students need time for set up.
