((Gerry Furth-Sides, LOS ANGELES, CA) — Chef and restaurateur Carla Hall from ABC’s The Chew, producer, entrepreneur and television personality will be in support of increasing employment and career opportunities for teens and broader access to quality food.
On Wednesday, October 14, high school and middle school students are invited to join A Taste of Tomorrow, a food and job opportunity fair that promises to “elevate lives and rock your taste buds.”
The event is an extension of Restaurant High: Hollywood Beginnings, a legal, business, and policy summit for the restaurant industry, held the same day at The Hollywood Roosevelt. Produced by restaurant attorney Riley Lagesen and his law firm, Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, entrepreneur Kimbal Musk, and charitable partner The Kitchen Community, A Taste of Tomorrow takes place at Hollywood High School from 2pm. to 7p.m.; attendance is complimentary.

 “As we look to the future the world population is projected to grow to 9.6 billion people by the year 2050.  Connecting our youth to the goal of finding sustainable and healthy ways to feed that population is imperative,” notes Carla Hall.  “The children who are taking part in A Taste of Tomorrow at Hollywood High are not only getting an opportunity to shape their future career paths, but a chance to potentially help solve some of the greatest problems facing us in the future.”
In addition to drawing leaders from over 100 “real food” restaurant groups, the event brings together leaders from a variety of industries including film, law, finance, sports and fashion, to lead mentorship sessions, practical skills workshops, and to discuss job and career opportunities within different fields. Business leaders such as Kimbal Musk (The Kitchen Community co-founder and Tesla board member), James Curleigh (Levi’s president), Vivek J. Tiwary (CEO, Tiwary Entertainment Group and Tony Award winning producer and New York Times best-selling author); Chris Adelmann and Mike Grozier (LiveNation executives) Quentin Jammer (former NFL star); Christy Vega (owner, Casa Vega Restaurant) and others hold interactive sessions with students throughout the day.
 
Celebrity chefs, include Michael Mina, Susan Feniger, Ben Ford, Hugo Matheson, Mary Sue Milliken, Ivan Orkin, Andy Ricker, and Jet Tila discuss opportunities in the food world and share practical home cooking skills. 
 
 A teen job fair will provide for on campus interviews and hiring, providing, for many, a first opportunity to enter the job market. Chipotle, Universal Studios Hollywood, Mendocino Farms, Panda Restaurant Group, Sprinkles Cupcakes, Fresh Brothers, and many more businesses are expected to participate.
