What’s Cookin’ in Allyn’s Kitchen?

Date posted: June 27, 2014

Everyone loves meal time at Overnight Getaways- whether it’s a grill-out, a baked potato bar or one of our delicious morning brunches, our wonderful kitchen staff keeps us well-fed. Stacy, our head chef, is the mastermind behind menus and dietary needs. Stacy reviews every participant’s dietary needs prior to their arrival. He and his staff prepare every plate for our participants with allergies or special preparation to ensure everyone eats the right stuff! Our kitchen crew is made up of a fabulous team- Stacy, Brad, Laura, Tess, Sarah and Chet. We are very grateful for the hard work they put into to our meals! 

Our kitchen crew is constantly coming up with new meals to offer. We have had things like Chicken Stir Fry, Taco Salads, Western Burgers and Hot Dog Roll Ups, always, of course, with a vegetable or salad on the side. Lunches have been delicious things like PB&J Croissants, Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup and Chicken Fingers. Breakfast is always delicious with a variety of foods from Oatmeal and Pastries, to Sausage and Pancakes. The variety and creativity keep our stomachs happy and the special attention to dietary needs and well rounded plates keep our bodies moving and healthy! 

Recently, our leadership team and kitchen crew worked together to develop a new twist to meal times- Pizza Delivery Nights. During Lodge Time, participants ordered their pizza on their official Allyn Pizzeria Forms. Then, our kitchen staff took to the ovens baking up sausage, pepperoni or cheese pizzas. At dinner time, the pizzas were placed into pizza boxes, loaded up onto golf carts and delivered by the most cheerful pizza delivery ladies- our supervisors! Participants ate in their groups at various locations around camp. It was a nice break from eating in the dining hall and getting a chance to socialize in their small groups. 

We are so happy to have the support of our wonderful kitchen crew! Keep up the great work, guys and gals! We sure do appreciate it!

See you soon!
