Luby's Culinary Services

Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude for the many blessings in all areas of our lives and here at 𝗟𝘂𝗯𝘆’𝘀 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 (LCS) while we are grateful for all of our employees we would like to take this opportunity to highlight one, 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹. Frank started with LCS in 2018 as a chef/cook. After excelling and showing that he had the potential and drive to be a leader he was promoted to Food Service Director in 2023.   Currently, Frank is the Food Service Director at one of our assisted living facilities. In his short time there, Frank has been able to lead the kitchen staff by working hands on with training and teaching the staff our LCS culture and processes. Frank leads by example so it has been a very smooth process. The residents love our food, and Frank goes out of his way to provide the residents with delicious and nutritious selections. We have received numerous compliments and praise from both residents, facility staff, and family members. He oversees all functions during mealtimes and attends a monthly Dining Feedback meeting to ensure the residents' needs are fulfilled. Frank has a huge smile and always does whatever it takes for the residents and guests to have the best possible experience.  Frank, we are thankful and grateful that you are part of our team! #𝗟𝘂𝗯𝘆𝘀𝗖𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 #𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 #𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 #𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 #𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 #𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 #𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 #𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽

One of our pillars at 𝗟𝘂𝗯𝘆'𝘀 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 is our commitment to serving others first and building lasting relationships and our Employee Spotlight on 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗳/𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗴𝗮𝗱𝗼-𝗥𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗻 is a powerful example of these qualities. Chef Marina goes beyond crafting delicious and nutritional dishes for the residents at one of our partner rehabilitation recovery centers. Her culinary philosophy is rooted in the idea that food is a celebration. A celebration that she tailors to reflect not only the necessary nutritional value that our residents need to help with their recovery but also to bring people together through bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and an attention to detail that ensures every bite delights the senses. Chef Marina leads with passion, respect for her team, and a commitment to make a difference with her culinary masterpieces. Chef Marina we are fortunate and truly grateful to have you on our team. #𝗟𝘂𝗯𝘆𝘀𝗖𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 #𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 #𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 #𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 #𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 #𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 #𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 #𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 #𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲

In our effort to offer fresher more sustainable food options, Luby's Culinary Services sources our ingredients from local farms and producers allowing our culinary teams to create seasonal, environmentally friendly farm-to-table meals to enhance the dining experience for our patients and residents. #lubysculinaryservices #farmtotable #farmersmarkets #seniorliving #patientsatisfaction #healthcare #nourishwellness #supportservices

At Luby's Culinary Services, our senior living directors make hydration stations a priority and use delicious options where ice cold water is infused with fresh natural ingredients like cucumbers, mint, strawberries, blueberries, lemons and other fresh, nutritious locally-grown ingredients. The result is an answer to dehydration that tastes great and our residents love. #lubysculinaryservices #seniorliving #residentsatisfaction #nourishingwellness #combatdehydration #supportservices
