The Treasure Coast Food Bank is accepting applications for its next Culinary Training Academy. The 12-week job training program in Fort Pierce prepares graduates for careers in the food production industry. It’s designed to help them develop their skills and move into new roles.
As many struggle with employment during the pandemic, the program is meant to serve as an option for improving a person’s future potential.
President and CEO Judith Cruz says students will learn the principles of cooking, cleanliness, food service operation, and designing a menu. The course has been offered for 4 years, but it’s even more vital right now.
Utz to discontinue century-old Husman’s snacks
Utz acquired the Cincinnati-based snack producer in 2019.
Husman’s Snack Foods Co. was founded in 1919 (formerly Husman Potato Products Co.) by 24-year-old Harry Husman, who started making potato chips at home.
Husman would hoist sacks of potatoes to his second-floor ‘Sunlit Kitchen’ by attaching a rope to the bumper of his car. The potatoes were then hand-cut into chips and fried in big kettles.
The brand is known for its signature jingle –

Today, Husman’s snack portfolio also includes cheese snacks, pretzels and popcorn.
Utz Quality Foods will discontinue its Husman's snack line, beloved by Cincinnatians for more than a century, the company confirmed to WCPO Friday night.
