There is a new kid on the block here at the CIA. Pangea, a pop-up restaurant is currently enjoying a limited run through June of this year. It opened in January.
Pangea showcases a menu that features an array of inspired dishes that both celebrate and bring together the most diverse cultural flavors and influences from around the world. Pangea explores the world’s interconnected foodways while uniting and transforming them.
Chef Theo Roe’s Contemporary Restaurant Cooking course teaches students to prepare and present a plant and grain focused cuisine that emphasizes the flavors and culinary possibilities of cooking with fewer animal proteins and more vegetal elements. And his classroom - is Pangea.
In more than a decade as a member of the CIA faculty, Chef Roe, a 1991 graduate, has also been chef and instructor in the American Bounty Restaurant, and taught several other courses in the college’s degree programs.
