What a wonderful way to spend the day, take a look at some video from the show:

Have you been to see Julie D’Amico demonstrating wonderful food products and techniques on Thursdays at 1:30 @ PREP!

“Thrive Thursday” is an opportunity for me to cook up a few Gordon ingredients in the PREP kitchens to help share our product lines, inspire new trending or seasonal menu ideas and introduce our broker community–it’s a chance to share space and conversations with a variety of customers, learn more about their business and the types of products or ideas they might find interesting.  This time is invaluable for Gordon and PREP to continue our partnership and explore new ideas in the kitchen. Each Thursday looks a little bit different and it’s exciting to talk about new imported olive oils, applications for dips and sauces, Spring sandwich ideas, trending flatbreads–the list is endless and the conversation time is priceless.

Bentley Grace – Brownie Baker Extraordinaire!

A chance meeting is allowing an Atlanta girl with cerebral palsy to follow her dreams of being an entrepreneur. Longtime entrepreneur Paul Monahan is passionate about his baking business. He says that his patience, however, is an ingredient of which he is in short supply. One day, while shopping for flour in Whole Foods, a girl named Bentley-Grace changed that for Monahan. Grace, who has cerebral palsy, is also an entrepreneur. She is known as the little girl in Buckhead who bakes and sells brownies.

“I have these awesome delicious, outstanding, greatest brownies,” Grace said.

 

Bentley Grace and PREP Crew

So, impressed with Grace, her positive spirit and, of course, her brownies, Monahan invited her to a unique commercial kitchen operation ( PREP ) where owners of small food businesses can do their cooking. The professional foodies and cooks did a taste test with Grace’s brownies. Grace was offered a membership to work in the kitchen, get licensed and get her brownies in grocery stores. It was seeing her brother earn money washing dogs that made Grace want to earn money too.

Grace’s mom says she is thrilled that a chance meeting in a grocery store aisle led to her daughter getting free use of a commercial kitchen and a chance to grow her dreams.

Grace said her secret to making delicious brownies is that they are made with love.

2 Fat 2 Fly brought their stuffed wing food truck from Columbia SC to PREP last fall and operated in Atlanta over the winter months.  You may have seen them at the Atlanta Food Truck Park, Sweetwater Festival or many other places where they were gathering crowds and serving up their special brand of Wings with Personality!  We can promise you that Corey and Ramone’s wing stuffing technique is shrouded in secrecy!

Be sure and check out PREP’s own Director of First Impressions, JR Santos at the 1:10 mark of the video talking to the guys about booking their truck at Ladies Night at the food truck park.  This was a fun experience for everyone at PREP, and the guys were great interacting with all of the other food truck owners here who are always willing to share their experience with others getting started in the business.
