A field trip maybe?

 

Ha! I was thinking about that just last week. Let me pull the rest of my thoughts together and I'll start a topic.

As we go into the final week or two of JBF judging, I'm proud to share this interview I did with our local NPR affiliate  about our work with a local high school. The school is in the historic red-lined district of St Louis, which, while legally ended in the 70s, practically continued into the 80s and some would argue, today. HERE  is the interview.

 

On Thursday we were named the #1 restaurant in the city by the Post-Dispatch (the city's main newspaper). We were #2 last year. I'm immensely proud of my team!

Congrats on the JBF finalist nom and the #1 St. Louis recognition!  
And thank you for sharing the link to that NPR piece. I saw you mention it on IG and thought it might be a 5 or 10 min segment but it was a really nice, in-depth session. You and your mentee should both be incredibly proud of what you’re doing. 
For those of us who'd like to offer a bit of financial support the program, but can’t pop over to St. Louis with our checks, is there any other way we might contribute?

Checks can be mailed to HERO H.U.T. Fund which is the school's account for extracurriculars. Memo line should read: O'Bannon Culinary Team. If it is sent to the restaurant then I can catch it for the financial match (3307 Washington Ave, STL, MO 63103). I also have talked the Les Dames de Escoffier local chapter to match as well, so all donations are being double matched. And I don't have an electronic way of doing this because it would have to go through my personal venmo or paypal, and that's too messy. Thank you!
