Catering Today

Today we are closed on the retail side, as we are every Saturday, but Harvard School of Public Health contracts us to cater breakfast, coffee break and lunch for a quarterly program that meets on the weekends when the cafeteria isn't open. It's a good gig, I enjoy the client, Colin Fleming is a pleasure to work with, and the end users, those pesky people who eat the food and have to be kept satisfied! They're a multi-ethnic multi-cultural bunch with varied tastes and generally pleasant demeanor. They appreciate me. I appreciate them. What they don't know, mostly because they don't ask, is that there is a whole crew of people to back me up. They see me and rarely anyone else, but there's a chef, a salad maker, a sandwichmaker, a baker, and a dishwasher involved directly with producing their meals. Obviously, I couldn't do it without my co-workers, so for all those times I've been thanked, I want to pass the thanks on to the people who make it all possible. Jim, Bernadette, Shylicia, John, Imelda, Amparo, Hoang, Lilly, and Eddy...Thank-you.
