Cooks leave kitchen long enough to accept award from community board
A pair of charitable cooks who fed tens of thousands of people in neighborhoods ravaged by Hurricane Sandy stepped out of their kitchen to accept thanks and praise from Community Board 10 Monday night.
Justin Brannan and Karen Tadross, co-founders of the Bay Ridge Cares Kitchen, a soup kitchen operating the kitchen at Saint Mary’s Antiochian Orthodox Church on Ridge Boulevard, received certificates of appreciation from Board 10 Chairman Joanne Seminara at the Dec. 17 meeting.
A third Bay Ridge Cares Kitchen founder, Allison Robicelli, was unable to attend the board meeting. Brannan accepted the certificate on her behalf.
