Hi George,

I know that there is at least one resource in the Workforce Education 
Special Collection that is for food service training.  Go to the Workforce 
Collection at http://worklink.coe.utk.edu/, choose "workforce instructors" 
in the right navigation bar, go to the resources under the question "What 
are some examples of workforce education curricula/lesson plans?" and 
choose the "Steps to Employment" resource. "Enter" the site, and choose the 
"steps manuals" button at the top.  It will take you to all the areas they 
have developed curriculum for, and "Food Service Trades & Occupations"  is 
one of the many that you can choose.  Please feel free to contact me if you 
need further help.
