ELMSFORD – A group of chefs and restaurateurs have come together to support their workers and communities in response to the coronavirus crisis by cooking soup – a million gallons of the ‘cure-all’ food.
“What these folks have done is step up in the tradition of American private business, people who are hurting financially in their own investments and operations, and still step forward to give to those in need,” said Westchester County Executive George Latimer. “We hope in county government that we can be good partners to this industry, and all businesses, as we don’t know what we are going to have to face until we complete the challenge ahead.”
Present at the announcement event on Thursday were Louie Lanza (Hudson Hospitality Group), Eric Korn (Monteverde at Oldstone), Scott Vaccaro (Captain Lawrence Brewing Co.), Mogan Anthony (Village Social Hospitality Group), Navjot Arora (Chutney Masala), Matthew Honeycutt (Feeding Westchester) and John Van Dekker (Enormous Creative).
The group is recruiting chefs, raising money, accepting corporate donations of food and supplies, and mobilizing to assist in providing meals to thousands of people in the area.
