Food and Wine

The UT Conference Center on Henley Street is housed in the former Rich's department store that once featured the Laurel Tea Room on the top floor.

Students in the UT Culinary Program now operate out of the former tea room. Inspired by their historic surroundings, they are pleased to honor the past by adding new twists on old Laurel favorites.

The result is our luncheon series called "Laurel's Echo." Each luncheon includes an assortment of appetizers, entrées, side dishes, and desserts-all for $14 (including tax).

You must register and pay at least five business days prior to the luncheon, and seating is first come, first served. No refunds or transfers will be given for culinary luncheons. Due to health department guidelines, no food is allowed to be taken from the UT Conference Center.
