Woodrow Wilson Rehab Center gets "Perfect Score"!

The Center for faith-based and community learning located in Charlottesville, Virginia would like to congradulate the Director of Food Service Training at the Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center in Fishersville,Va for achieving what few ServSafe@ Food Safety students can accomplish, that is "a perfect score"!

Yes, "that is right" didn't miss one question according to Chef Ralph Brown Sr who proctored the exam on site earlier this month; "I was surprise to see the 100% score when the exam came back" said the Chef who has been doing this for over ten years. The Director did not sit through a regular RBCI class, so the Chef clams no credit for this achivement.

The Director administers the course and exam there at the Rehab Center as a part of his normal course of duties. Never-the-less the high score deserves high praise and sets the bar high for persons who attend the ServSafe@ Certification class there. Chef Brown will be doing a series of cooking demos and mini food safety classes there in 2014.

Our dream got a "wake-up call", but change is good!

The Center for faith-based and community learning located in Charlottesville, Virginia announces a change in the status of "Chef Ralph's Cherry Ave Grill", it is no more. In order to provide the jobs and job-training we wish for we must now do that through catering opportunities.

We are now working with "Chef Ralph's Personal Chef & Catering Service to provide the same level of training, but just not all in one place. Frankly the cost of that operation was to much, not enough money would go to the students, and Chef Ralph wants to spend more time with his family.

So, we are now excited about the many opportunities we will have in 2014 to provide "Chef Ralph's signature omelette's station experience to you for an early breakfast. Yes, you can call and schedule breakfast for from two to fifty people, "we bring the Chef, the servers, and the food"!
