Dawanna Millsap walks through the kitchen, stopping to answer questions and give directions. It’s her big day as manager of Chef’s Corner, and she wants everything to be perfect.
By 11 a.m., everything has fallen into place, and Millsap is pleased with the outcome. She begins greeting the first patrons of Chef’s Corner, a lunch provided by Jones County Junior College’s food production class.
Chef’s Corner offers patrons a themed meal every Tuesday and Thursday. Each student of the class chooses a meal and theme during the semester. Millsap and her partner, Heather Marshall, worked together to choose “The Lunch Lodge” as their theme. The meal for the day included fruit skewer fondue, white chili, brisket on onion roll, sweet potato logs, crispy slaw, white chocolate brownie, fried cheesecake and bananas foster.
“We wanted something hearty,” said Millsap, who explained the lodge theme was chosen because of the cold weather. Decorations included a fireplace, logs, snowflakes, and painted wintry scenes.
Millsap and Marshall were managers for the day, but before they complete the food technology program, they will serve in every position found in a restaurant, ranging from dishwasher to manager.
Food production instructor Lisa Little feels the variety of roles students play trains them to be prepared for the food service industry. Each student changes jobs three times in a day, working on food prep, serving and clean up.
“I feel this prepares them for multiple positions in our industry. They can adapt well to changes,” said Little. “Employers tell us they can see a difference in our students compared to other hirees. They’re also ServSafe certified, which is a requirement for managers at all restaurants.”
Chef’s Corner is open to the public and can accommodate 50 guests a day. Individuals, clubs, churches and groups are welcome to attend the RSVP-required luncheon. Dinner is served Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. in the Life Sciences Building on the JCJC campus. Cost of the meal is $6.
The menus for the semester can be viewed on the JCJC web site at http://www.jcjc.edu/chefscorner/chefscornermenu.pdf, and the RSVP number is 601-477-4209. Those without internet access can call the RSVP number for information on upcoming meals.

Boundaries
Just as each of us has a need for physical safety, we also have a need for emotional or psychological safety. Boundaries is the term we use to define what helps us feel safe and comfortable in relationships. We have all had the experience of feeling like another person was closer to us physically than was comfortable. So too it is important to define for yourself how close you want to be with others emotionally. Naturally, this varies with who the other person is.
