Menu

We find comfort in the diversity in our classrooms and kitchens. Refugees, asylees, and survivors of human trafficking from over 50 countries have passed through our kitchen. Not only has this pushed us to be more sensitive and aware of culinary traditions from across the world, but it also reaffirms that there is so much binding us all together. Our menu reminds us of this common ground, and draws from both our students’ cultures and our team’s culinary upbringing. As we grow, we hope our menu continues to not only be a learning tool for our students, but also a unique conversation between our 250-plus students and graduates who now have a home at Emma’s Torch.
