Iowa Culinary Institute at DMACC recently dropped its 2025 Fall Gourmet Dinner Series lineup — and fine diners already gobbled up the reservations.
Why it matters: These high-demand dinners blend fine dining with culinary education, giving central Iowans a chance to taste what the next generation of top chefs is cooking up.
Zoom in: Held in the Lakeview Dining Room on DMACC's Ankeny campus, each evening features a bubbly reception, live classical music, and a multi-course meal designed to impress.
State of play: The series is sold out, but you can get on a waitlist.
- Most dinners run $140 per person, with $50 tax-deductible and applied toward the Chef's Toque Society — DMACC's culinary booster club.
