“If anyone brings us donuts, Steve [the chef] throws them away. . . . It is not good food for our guests. We care too much to give them anything but the best. Steve wants our guests to have the same experience as if they were paying $30 for the meal.”
On one hand, I applaud this food bank for thinking enough of the people they serve by trying to avoid serving any old slop. That’s commendable.
On the other hand, the above comments reek of snootiness and elitism. I am aware of several soup kitchens in my area that don’t have a “chef” on premises. Nor do they serve mushroom risotto and pumpkin soup.
Donuts are SLOP??? Oh please!
I wonder just how long the lines are at the pro-donuts places vs the pumpkin soup, mushroom risotto, and whole-wheat brownies places.
Placing bets??
