B'klyn Chef Deborah Snyder Serves Up Gourmet Meals to Students
NEW YORK (AP) -- One Brooklyn chef is serving up gourmet lunches for schoolchildren, introducing them to dishes like slow-cooked pork shoulder and braised short ribs.
Chef Deborah Snyder charges $7 a meal to prepare lunches that typically include vegetables, a starch and meat or other protein.
That's a sharp contrast to the pedestrian fare served up in school cafeterias like hamburgers, toasted cheese sandwiches and peas with diced carrots. Those lunches cost $1.50 a meal.
Snyder says she already has 15 regular customers and hopes to expand soon. The 39-year-old executive pastry chef at Lever House e-mails a weekly menu to parents.
She says they appreciate her business because ``packing a lunch stresses people out.''
Customer Chris Olshaker says the money is worth it if her 2-year-old daughter gets exposed to new foods.
