The Best Way to Eat Food

Livery Barn Restaurant managers Gil Drolet and Randy Berg working in the kitchen.
With the advent of fast and easy food we have lost the art of preparing and eating food. What was meant to be restful and nourishing to our bodies and souls has become merely utilitarian.
I recently sat down with Mennonite Heritage Village’s (MHV) new Food Services Manager Gil Drolet and Assistant Manager Randy Berg. During the interview it became clear that their love of cooking and arranging food for others came at a young age when their mothers increasingly engaged them in supper preparation. For Gil it started at age 8. Within a few years he could do the whole meal complete with roast and the trimmings by himself.
