North High School ProStart students host barbecue
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — Some Sioux City high school students got to try a variety of meats and learn about the process of making them.
Students enrolled in the ProStart culinary program at North High School grilled meats for teachers and classmates at around lunchtime. The students also learned how to prepare and cook the meats.

A chef from the local Marriott taught kids the importance of scoring the meat, and also of learning how to cook at a young age.
'People aren't getting into cooking nearly as early,' and ' chef Eric Divis said. 'A big thing for when I come to these classes is to show them how to do things, but also I want them to start understanding the essential skills of cooking, because not being able to cook going into the real world, going into the relationships, going into the family, learning those skills then is a lot harder then having the ability to learn them now.'
This is the second time this event was held thanks to a grant from the Iowa Beef Industry Council.
