Some days remind you why you started. 🧡
Last week, Hess Street Foods spent time with the students of the San Antonio Food Bank San Antonio Food Bank’s Culinary Training Program, led by Geronimo Lopez Chef Geronimo Lopez, a program that opens real doors into the food industry for our community.
These students are learning the foundations every great cook needs: classical knife skills, sauces, and cooking techniques. They also study the business side of the kitchen, including professional recipe writing, costing, and menu design and development. That’s not just a class. It’s a career path.
I got to share how Hess Street Foods started, from a family recipe to manufacturing authentic, all-natural chorizo seasoning right here in San Antonio. Seeing their questions, curiosity, and passion was the best part of my week.
Thank you, Chef Geronimo, and the whole San Antonio Food Bank team, for investing in people and building a stronger food community in SA. 🙌
