Common Table celebrated it latest graduates with a reception and dinner Friday, December 2. The graduates plan and prepare their own meal, which was beef ribs, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, and cornbread with mashed potato piping. Dessert was chocolate or raspberry trifle. Pre-dinner appetizers included honey barbecue chicken skewers, mozzarella balls and spinach skewers, cupcakes and strawberries, and–amazingly–deep friend deviled eggs. They. Were. Amazing.

Congratulaitons to the graduates–including a mother/daughter team–Chef Makeda Freeman-Woods, Chef Steve Higdon, and Lacole Hamilton. Great job!
