Johnson County Community College Foundation – Spice!
Celebrated Chef Wolfgang Puck is at the heart of a dinner, Spice!, sponsored by the Johnson County Community College Foundation on August 25th. Kaymie Valiani and Sarah and Bill Crooks are the co-chairmen for the event which will honor the late chef Marc Valiani, who spent many years with Wolfgang Puck as well as with Kansas City restaurants. The event benefits the JCCC Chef Apprenticeship Scholarship, the new JCCC Hospitality and Culinary Academy being built on campus and the Marc Valiani Fund at the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation.
