The National Institute for Culinary and Hospitality Education (NICHE), managed by WSU Tech, is a multifaceted entity combining innovative curriculum with business operations to create synergistic learning outcomes for students and a highly skilled and passionate workforce that will not only benefit NICHE but Wichita itself. Our mission is to celebrate and enhance our culinary landscape and our fou

nding principles are sustainability, accessibility and innovation. Throughout their two-year associates program, our students receive over one thousand hours of culinary lab instruction (actual time in the kitchen). But in addition to this, all of our students have the opportunity to work in the Bistro, Food Hall, events and catering. The pressures and timing of a bustling kitchen or large-scale banquet are impossible to duplicate in a lab environment, which is why we consider this real-world experience to be essential in preparing them for the workforce. NICHE features an open to the public Food Hall as well as several rentable spaces throughout the facility including Henry's Place, the Event Center and Rooftop Terrace at NICHE.

My name is A.J. Miller and I’m in my final semester at NICHE. My inspiration for cooking comes from my Pops. My Pops is wildly creative and can make something delicious out of absolutely nothing which made me very passionate about the food I create. I love to infuse different cuisines and cultures to create an explosion of flavors on your palette which is how I decided on my special, Zilla's Caribbean Salmon .

It's been a while since I stopped in at NICHE but it's such a well oiled machine, it's like I never left.

We started with an incredible building tour by John Michael, the Director of Culinary and Hospitality. This place has so much to offer, including it's rooftop venue Henry's Place.

I went with The Al Pastor Wings after Chef Kegan have a strong endorsement. And I can truly say these wings make my Top 3 Wings of All Time.

They packed so much flavor and the sauce was the perfect companion. I joked with Lisa that these wings may be some of the best Tacos I've ever had lol. Seriously. FLAVOR IS SPOT ON.

With Lisa's first trip she had to try the Bistro Smash Burger that I've spoken so highly of. Also in my top 3. Side of Joy Fries & Funky Sauce ❤️

We tried a few more things including the Student Featured dish, SPICED POLENTA RAGU with SEASONAL VEGETABLES, which was very delightful, and a side order of their ASIAN SESAME SLAW.

We capped the meal with some tasty treats from The Coffee Spot, a Raspberry Chocolate Scone & a Match M&M cookie. But the one I was most looking forward to was the...

WICKED WITCH OF THE MIDWEST

A decadent, creamy mousse of rich chocolate and Pandan, topped with Green Pandan White Chocolate Ganache, Spiced Kernza Crumble and Whipped Cream.

Pretty much a chocolate dream.

Our trip to Niche was a 13/10 ❤️❤️❤️

This dish symbolizes an ode to all of my professors, my Continental Chef Dad, and my ethnic Indian background, drawing influence from each of them. I present my Spiced Beef Ragu with Crispy Polenta and Seasonal Roasted Vegetables.
