91猫先生

From the desk of聽Tony Welty,聽Director of Finance & Operations:

鈥淭he first year is always the most difficult.鈥� So said one of Flik鈥檚 Regional Chef Managers, David Langenstein, during his recent visit to 91猫先生. David oversees the food operations in sixty different schools throughout North Carolina and the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. According to David, one of the most difficult tasks in year one is acclimating to the culinary climate of each school.

Much like a family, a single meal served to five different people typically elicits at least two or three variant responses, everything from 鈥渢hat was the best meal ever鈥� to 鈥淚 pray I never see that dish again.鈥� Same meal, different perspectives. In our case, each daily menu offering at 91猫先生 falls somewhere on the spectrum of being savored or excoriated by upwards of five hundred different people.

A challenge Flik faces every day is discerning the flavor and taste preferences of our community and matching those preferences with their commitment to serving fresh, healthy food. 91猫先生n this is year one, we can expect to see more alignment between what is being served and what a majority of our students prefer to eat as the year progresses.

Part of Chef David鈥檚 task over the past couple of days has been working with Shirley Wood, our own Chef Manager, to evaluate and modify our Upper and Lower School menus in order to better meet the desires and expectations of our students and faculty as best we can. I鈥檝e seen these modifications and I trust you鈥檒l be pleased with these new menu items and a renewed focus on serving healthy and delicious food.
