James Beard Foundation Women’s Entrepreneurial Leadership Fellow Alumni Ederique “Chef E” Goudia, Shanel Dewalt from Break’n Cornbread and their delectable dishes will be featured at the Detroit Institute of Gastronomy’s (DIG) scholarship fundraiser gala on Thursday, May 4.
The institute is holding a scholarship fundraiser to provide women interested in the culinary industry an opportunity to attend and learn the culinary arts through apprenticeship. Every $5,500 received in donations allows DIG to provide a fully enrolled female apprentice student with a full tuition scholarship for one year of their academic program.
“As women in the kitchen, we’ve come a long way, and we’re going to go farther,” said Kimberly Brock Brown, President of the American Culinary Foundation. “We’ve always been here; now is the time to get into those leadership positions throughout the industry, not just in restaurants. There are so many different paths you can pursue in the culinary world, and DIG can help you find them and excel in whatever area you apply yourself to.”
The event will take place at the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club from 6PM to 9:30PM. Tickets start at $85 and are available for purchase at eventbrite.com/e/women-in-culinary-apprenticeship-scholarship-gala-tickets-565353917787. To donate to the scholarship fund, go to
