Monroe feeds the hungry

On Friday, December 15, the Monroe College School of Hospitality Management and the Culinary Arts served up a gourmet meal for 300 at the Part of the Solution (POTS) community kitchen on Webster Avenue in the Bronx. This is the fourth consecutive year that Monroe has provided holiday meals for POTS clients.

"A lot of people think these folks are different, but they're just like us," said Monroe Hospitality major Nancy Ramirez between serving lunch plates. "They deserve a chance in life and if I can help them, I'm happy to do it."


The specially-prepared lunch of Potato Leak Soup, Boneless Breast of Chicken with Mushroom Gravy; Green Beans Amandine and Roasted Garlic-herb New Potatoes, and dessert of Angel Food cake with Mixed Berries and Crème Chantilly were met with comments like "delicious" and fabulous" from the satisfied POTS clients.

"This is our way of sharing the holidays," said Culinary Arts Director Chef Daniel Hinder, who along with Professor/Chefs Leornard Brickel, Tracey Zimmerman, and Sean Comp, supervised the preparation of the food.
