The Warsaw Area Career Center (WACC) announced the opening of Blue Apron, a student-operated restaurant that offers a blend of handcrafted meals and hands-on learning.
The restaurant officially reopened its doors (for the 2024-25 school year) to the public on Tuesday, providing a chef-inspired menu prepared by WACC culinary students.
Blue Apron will be open every Tuesday and Thursday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the WACC, offering guests an opportunity to enjoy a variety of fresh, made-from-scratch dishes in a cozy dining atmosphere, according to a news release from Warsaw Community Schools.
Menu Highlights
Blue Apron’s signature dishes include the Cubano Sandwich and the Hand-Breaded Pork Tenderloin. The menu will also feature rotating weekly specials, giving guests new culinary experiences throughout the year. Lighter options such as the Crisp Caesar Salad and the Tennessee Salad — a unique take on Nashville Hot Chicken — are also available.
To complement the meals, Blue Apron will serve a variety of scratch-made soups, including the popular Loaded Baked Potato Soup. Dessert lovers can indulge in options like Crème Brûlée and rotating flavors of cheesecake, which change weekly.
Hands-On Educational Experience
Blue Apron is not just a restaurant — it’s an extension of the classroom. Culinary students at WACC gain real-world experience by managing all aspects of the restaurant, from preparing meals to serving guests. Under the guidance of expert instructors, students are equipped with essential skills for future careers in the culinary arts, giving them an immersive introduction to the restaurant industry.
The community is invited to enjoy this dining experience while supporting the next generation of chefs at WACC. No reservations are required, but seating is limited, so guests are encouraged to arrive early to secure a table.
