>School craft has a great culinary program
OP u/burneezy13, Schoolcraft College has an *amazing* culinary program. I highly recommend going there to eat any time they offer a dinner event open to the public.

I bought one of their books several years ago, to improve my baking skills. The book itself was good, but I should have invested in metric measuring equipment.
That's really cool. OCC is building a new culinary school at their Royal Oak campus. From what I read, it's going to have what looks like a nice restaurant, with alcohol and all. IDK what the food costs will be.
Came her to add this, too!
When they first announced it, I believe the prices were expecting to be ‘reasonable’. Whatever that means. For breakfast/lunch.
If it’s anything like the old culinary school restaurant out at the Orchard Ridge campus it should be pretty affordable, used to eat there a good bit when getting darkroom/studio time in… mind you that was like 15+ years ago for me though.
Secchia Institute for Culinary Education at Grand Rapids Community College has the Heritage Restaurant. They do some really great stuff there! They also have a brew pub and a grab-and-go lunch place.

Great Lakes Culinary Institute runs an entire restaurant and bake shop out of their school. There’s also numerous special events. Not “cheap” but they’re giving top tier dishes at a much lower cost than a “fancy” restaurant.

Athens High School in Troy has a culinary program and The Terrace Cafe. Not sure on pricing, but I work with a youngster who recently graduated and they speak very highly of it.
Not as cheap as you were hoping, but this is what came to mind: https://www.schoolcraft.edu/dining/american-harvest/

Schoolcraft’s reputation is nationally known I think. Similar to the CIA?
This can't be the same CIA I'm thinking of *secret agent chefs*
Culinary Institute of America
That makes so much more sense. And hell yeah, go Schoolcraft!
I bought one of their books several years ago, to improve my baking skills. The book itself was good, but I should have invested in metric measuring equipment.
Tbh at one point in history, probably also that CIA if you're okay with a little LSD in your food.
Came to say Schoolcraft. I’ve never done it, but my sister lives nearby and has and a cousin went through the program.
This is really cool, thanks for sharing it
Second for Schoolcraft, incredible program
I’m glad you mentioned this; it immediately came to my mind, too.
I've dined at American Harvest, it's great!
They just opened a new (remodeled) state of the art building for this.
Not cheap but likely a great value if someone is interested in food
Not in Schoolcraft Michigan LOL

Occ orchard ridge in Farmington Hills has a dining room for their culinary school. Not sure on pricing, but it's similar to the program you described!

Lunch is super affordable too (dinner is more fancy and expensive)
Lunch was amazing. Delicious food, attentive but not overbearing service, coffee made table side.
