Holidays are coming...time to think food

So much of life revolves around food, and sharing it and enjoying it.  With the holidays around the corner, food is a focus, and we’re so glad to be hearing about it from a professional chef, seasoned businessman, educator, and entrepreneur.  He’s also a Verrado Rotary Club member who has already kicked some of our events up a notch with his delicious talent and generosity.  Chef Kevin Barko served as Director of Marketing and Promotions for Shamrock Foods in New Mexico and Arizona from 2005-2014, and then as Director of Marketing and Business Resources for the Sysco Corporation for the 6 years after.  Then in 2020, Kevin elected himself President of his own KPB Consulting firm, and we’re delighted that he and wife Amy had the vision and expertise to start Heritage Street Cooks right here in Verrado!    Kevin says:  “Heritage Street Cooks offers hands on cooking instruction for adults, teens and kids for fun and education.  Our classes are personalized for individuals, couples, and groups of all sizes and age ranges.  Kevin and Amy teach using the world standard classic French cooking technique.  Each class is scheduled one evening per week for 3 hours, and teaches solid, basic cooking skills. Students learn, create, and enjoy a new menu each week, including a dessert.  There’s more to the story: catering, meal subscriptions, the C-CAP program to prepare students for careers in culinary arts, and so much more.   Join us as we enjoy Chef Barko’s journey and story!
