The teens are taking part in The Art Institute of Dallas’s Summer Studio, a week-long series of workshops, providing students and educators the opportunity to stretch their creative muscles and experience the exciting career fields of fashion design, interior design, digital filmmaking, culinary arts, animation, and graphic design.  

Each program will take an “industry tour” to see how their passion translates into real life. The young culinary hopefuls will take a tour of The Twisted Root, founded by Art Institute of Dallas graduates Jason Boso and Quincy Hart. They will then enjoy lunch at the restaurant, and will have the opportunity to ask questions of the owners to get a professional perspective of how the restaurateur world really works. 

Jason Boso hopes to also show the students his latest venture, Cowboy Chow, which will be opening soon in Deep Ellum.  Cowboy Chow offers chef-driven, cast-iron cooking, specializing in Brisket Tacos. Examples are Tequila, Cumin and Tomatillo brisket tacos or Wild Boar tacos with sweet corn and ranchero sauce.
