Five star restaurants with celebrity chefs are a dime a dozen in New York City. But an immaculate kitchen is hard to find. Cleanliness is a top priority for two very busy venues that serve an exclusive clientele.
The kitchens at God’s Love We Deliver and Gay Men’s Health Crisis are by far the cleanest you’ll find at any non-profit organization.
The old cliche, “it’s so clean you could eat off of the floor” certainly applies to the kitchen at God’s Love We Deliver . Every surface of the oversized kitchen is gleaming. Volunteers change their gloves approximately every half hour as they chop vegetables, wrap sandwiches and pack up the meals. Cutting boards and knives are washed, and counters are sanitized several times per shift.
God’s Love We Deliver prepares and delivers fresh, hot meals every weekday to clients who are too ill to shop or cook for themselves.
Gay Men’s Health Crisis serves hot lunches and Friday night dinner to their members battling HIV/AIDS. Clients have a choice of entrees, soup, salad, dessert and fruit. The food is prepared to the same high quality, gourmet standards that you’d find at the best Manhattan eateries. Volunteers help bus the tables and the staff keeps the counters, tables and floors in pristine condition.
