The Envision Bistro is grounded in the mission and founding principles of NICHE. Our mission is to celebrate and enhance our culinary landscape. Wichita and Kansas have unique authentic traditions that can’t be found elsewhere. The culinary traditions brought by groups such as Volga Germans, Mennonites, Lebanese and Vietnamese, and how these cuisines adapted to common ingredients of Kansas, have created something special here that is worth celebrating. Through our founding principles of sustainability, accessibility and innovation, we incorporate local and seasonal ingredients founded in our local traditions to imagine new creative dishes.

Throughout their two-year associates program, our students receive over one thousand hours of culinary lab instruction (actual time in the kitchen). But in addition to this, all of our students have the opportunity to work in the Bistro, Food Hall, events and catering. The pressures and timing of a bustling kitchen or large-scale banquet are impossible to duplicate in a lab environment, which is why we consider this real-world experience to be essential in preparing them for the workforce.
