KEY WEST, FL, March 17, 2023— The College of the Florida Keys continues its 2023 VIP Series with “Truckin’- a Grateful Look at Cooking” on Thursday, March 30 at 7 p.m. in the Tennessee Williams Theatre on the Key West Campus. This presentation will be led by Chef Stephan Juliusburger, faculty of Culinary Arts at CFK. In his 20s, he was the tour chef for the Grateful Dead for six years. He later wrote his master's degree thesis on the sociology of food; from this came a broader understanding of the unique positioning of food – its place, purpose, and how it resonates in all of us. Join Chef Stephan to hear and discuss the role of cooking and community in today's society. 
​

The 2023 season includes presentations that focus on timely topics relevant to Keys’ audiences. Tickets for CFK’s VIP Series events are $5 at the door.
