Gateway C.O.O.K.s – Lucy Gellman
On Wednesday night, the kitchens at Gateway Community College — yes, there are multiple, glinting with clean, stainless steel surfaces and zillion-burner stoves — were abuzz with activity, Shell and Bones’ new chef Arturo Franco Comacho darting from one end of the space to the other to check dishes that students were preparing for an […]
