🍅 🥒 🔪 The Kitchen Internship’s annual capstone “Supermarket Challenge” presented by

TGG interns have reached the capstone to their spring internship, The Kitchen with our 5th annual Supermarket Challenge! Over the course of this 2 month program, they were given the tools to shop for and cook healthy meals through recipe demos from a sampling of stellar local chefs. Finally, they were tasked with creating a recipe, shopping on a budget, and preparing a healthy meal for four. Through partnerships with each team of interns was given a $50 gift card to purchase all of their ingredients.

After a short bus ride to the Table, teams put their newfound culinary skills to the test as they raced against the clock to prepare their meal in just one hour. Winners were then selected by our a panel of guests chefs based on four categories: most creative, best plating, best food story/inspiration, and the grand prize: best overall! 🥄

Let’s hear it for these talented interns and their culinary prowess! 👏 👏 👏

Special thanks to our Chef Sponsor, and shout out to for donaitng their products for the interns’ dishes!

Such a fun and inspiring collaboration with 💚✨ Our Marketing Apprentices got the chance to learn what it really takes to market and grow a business while connecting with amazing local entrepreneurs right here in Milwaukee!

From modeling for the brand, asking questions during a Q&A, and hearing real stories and advice from creatives in the community, our apprentices walked away with so much knowledge and inspiration.

Huge thank you to Artery Ink for welcoming our apprentices and creating such a memorable experience 👏 We’re excited for more collaborations and opportunities with local creatives and businesses in the future!

🌱 Meet our 2026 Leadership Apprentices! 📣

Hear what Leadership Apprenticeship Eductator says about her team:

“The Leadership Apprentices are gearing up for their Spring Capstone on May 9th— learning how to lead using their authentic voices and collaboration with their fellow apprentices. From Team Mascots to Team Builders, the 2026 Leadership Apprenticeship is ready to lead over the next 9 months.“

TGG’s Marketing team worked with their fellow apprentices to accomplish yet another super successful portrait & headshot session. Not only is this one of the milestone productions for their photography unit, but our apprentices get to work on creative collaboration and practice directing their peers. We look forward to continue this work in MKE communities at large. Who needs team portraits?? 👀
