Every year we have the pleasure of working with some of the most talented chefs in some of the finest restaurants in the Bay Area. This year, the El Cajon Project has the following restaurants participating in the program. We continually add restaurants to our team, based on the needs of our student population and location. Many restaurants have worked with us for over ten years. We look forward to adding many more restaurants to our team!
