Restaurant and hotel group Geronimo Hospitality opens several of its Beloit eateries to 300 high school students for a behind-the-scenes look at life as a restaurant chef.
Tuesday, Geronimo hosts students from a dozen southern Wisconsin high schools, including Janesville’s Parker and Craig high schools, along with Beloit Memorial, for the National Restaurant Association Career & Industry Expo in downtown Beloit.
Klaus Nitsch is Geronimo’s Senior Vice President of food and beverage operations. He says all students visiting Geronimo’s Beloit restaurants are in two-year culinary programs at their own high schools.
Students will stop at several of Beloit’s Geronimo restaurants, including Merrill and Houston’s Steak Joint at the Ironworks Hotel in downtown Beloit. They get to watch the steakhouse’s chef make ribs.
Nitsch says the hope is some of the 300 kids at the expo will some day want to work at a Beloit restaurant.
