The University of Pennsylvania has set up a "Guest Chef" program that turns a college cafeteria into a culinary destination for one night a month.

A university official says the program began in the spring to treat students to something different and allow local chefs to show off their talent. It also gives dining staff a chance to learn new techniques.

Chefs aren't compensated but the university pays for the ingredients.

The guest chef for one night last week, Michael Solomonov, says cooking on such a large scale is a bit overwhelming. He says he tends to order 30 pounds of short ribs for his restaurant, but the campus executive chef ordered 300 pounds.
