Johnson & Wales Graduation: Impressing a Culinary Family

Here's a fun challenge: throw a graduation party for a Johnson & Wales family. JWU is a culinary and hospitality school, which means the guest of honor — and half the people at the table — actually know food. They've plated, they've worked lines, they can tell a good sear from a sad one. Impressing that crowd takes an experience, not a buffet. A live hibachi show delivers exactly that, and graduation catering from SIFU is built to hold its own in front of people who cook for a living.

The one crowd that judges the food — and enjoys the show anyway

Most graduation dinners just have to be good. A JWU celebration has to be good in front of people who'd notice if it weren't. The advantage of hibachi is that it's theater as much as it's dinner: a chef working live, knife skills on display, the whole meal cooked in front of the guests. Even people who've spent four years in professional kitchens sit back and enjoy watching someone else run the show for once.

A graduate who studied food deserves an experience

A JWU grad has spent years around food as work. Their celebration should feel like the opposite — food as pure enjoyment, with nothing for them to prep, plate, or clean. SIFU handles all of it: the live hibachi station, a fresh sushi spread, and setup and cleanup included, so the person who's cooked for everyone else finally gets cooked for.

Downtown and Harborside — celebrate near campus

JWU's campuses sit in and around downtown Providence and the Harborside waterfront, and the school runs one of the earliest commencements of the season. That timing is a small gift: you're celebrating before the late-May crush hits its peak, so there's a bit more room to plan — though the best dates still go early.
