Dallas is lucky to have so many chefs who dedicate their time to charity events. We are also fortunate to have chefs like Lawry’s Matt Melton. He volunteers time to teach cooking to kids with special needs. Throughout the year, eight different groups bring special-needs students from local middle and high schools to take Melton’s hands-on classes at Market Street in McKinney. “They create these dishes themselves, so it’s a huge feeling of accomplishment,” Melton said. “I’m no celebrity chef, but when they see me in a uniform, it makes them feel fantastic. And I feel like a rock star.”
Melton, that makes you more than a celebrity chef or a rock star. If you are a chef and would like to participate in this program, call 972-548-5167.
