RECESSION-PROOF LUNCHES BEING SERVED BY CULINARY STUDENTS IN NEWARK, NEW JERSEYAsian Glazed Baked Chicken, Deep Fried Seafood & Vegetable Fritters, Beef Short Ribs with Homemade B-B-Q Sauce.
Sound like dishes you might have ordered from a fine restaurant, only in better economic times? Think again.
Meals like this, always comprised of an entrée and two side dishes, are actually being served every weekday for the bargain price of $3.50 by students enrolled in the New Community School of Culinary Arts in Newark. And they even deliver.
“It’s good for business to have the prices so low, especially in this economy,” said Samuel Gaddy, 41, who graduated six years ago and now works at the school as the assistant culinary instructor.
Most students receive some sort of financial aid to help them afford the $5,500 tuition at the school, which opened in 1994 and has classroom space at NCC’s Workforce Development and Training Center at 201 Bergen Street in Newark.
Jonathan Butler, 53, a former executive chef and 30-year industry veteran who is the lead culinary school instructor, said while a high school diploma or GED is not a requirement to get into the seven-month program, many students work on receiving their diploma or GED once accepted.
Lunch is served by the students in a public cafeteria—called The Culinary Café—tucked away in a building on South Orange Avenue that also houses New Community’s Extended Care Facility, a 180-bed nursing home. Students prepare the food in the center’s commercial-size kitchen. The café draws local residents, as well as employees of local businesses and institutions, including UMDNJ.
“My greatest reward is to see a person enjoy my meal,” said Derrick Starks, 40, of Newark, a recent graduate now working in food service at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark. Graduates of New Community’s culinary school have gone on to work in restaurants, including the one based at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, various hotels and country clubs, as well as healthcare institutions, colleges and private businesses.
New Community Corporation is one of the largest and most comprehensive community development agencies in the country. It offers an array of services to thousands of individuals and families, ranging from job training and health care to housing and education. Founded in 1968 after the Newark riots, New Community’s mission is to help community residents improve the quality of their lives to reflect individual God-given dignity and personal achievement.
