Reopening of the Cook's Table 

Welcome back to the Cook's Table! We have missed all our customers and can't wait to serve you once again. This year's reopening was a lot different than most. Due to Covid-19, we were told that we were no longer allowed to serve our guests. The students knew that could not happen so they took matters into their own hands. Our first step was creating a proposal for Dr. Menzo and Mr. Corso. Included in that proposal was a interview with the Wallingford sanitarian, Brittnay Nappi. She talked about the different precautions we now have to follow in the kitchen. From, there a meeting was set up and we were approved to reopen. During this meeting, the video, produced by the Culinary 3 Management class, gave a visual representation of how we will operate. We are starting out with takeout only and a limited menu. In the reopening process, it became an overwhelming sucesss and we were able to be featured on Channel 8 and in the Record Journal. Below are the links to those segments.
