Take a bite and help Coupeville schoolchildren.

Five local chefs are joining together to present “A Tonic to Winter” — a gourmet dinner which will fundraise for the Community Foundation for Coupeville Public Schools.

The event is set for Wednesday, Feb. 25 and will go down at Gordon’s Fusion Cuisine, which is located at 103 NW Coveland.

Seats are limited, with 30 tickets left as of Wednesday morning.

Cost for the five-course meal, which includes two appetizers, two entrees (meat and fish), and dessert, is $150 per person, with all tickets sold online.

The featured chefs include Andreas Wurzrainer, Tyler Hanson, Sedrick Livingston, Ben Jones, and Gordon Stewart.

The night will include hors d’oeuvres, a silent auction featuring “unique Coupeville experiences,” and raffles.

Proceeds benefit The Boomerang Project, a student leadership program the Foundation and the schools are partnering to launch.

The community dinner is back.

For the first time since the pandemic threw a wrench into things, the Coupeville Connected Food Program is holding a fundraiser full of tasty treats.

Chef Andreas Wurzrainer and his staff will tickle the tastebuds Oct. 5.

The event, which goes down in the Coupeville High School cafeteria (501 S. Main St.), runs from 5:30-6:30 PM.

Suggested donation is $6 per person or $25 for a family.

“We are super excited to have an anonymous donor who will be matching any donations,” Wurzrainer said.

“All donations will be used exclusively to buy locally,” he added.

“To continue our strong relationships with local farmers and vendors and continue our mission of locally sourced scratch cooked school lunches.”

The menu includes pasta with meatballs from 3 Sisters Family Farms and marinara from tomatoes grown by the school farm.

There will also be prairie farm salad, kale salad with apples and cranberries, and a DaSilva Farms blueberry cupcake.

Coupeville schools destroy South Whidbey in food wars!

Posted in Not sports? Tough!, tagged , , , , on May 10, 2022| Leave a Comment »

Lunch is served at a local school district. Hint: it’s not South Whidbey.

Coupeville, setting the gold standard for Whidbey Island schools.

There’s no comparison.

Coupeville is kicking South Whidbey’s tushie on this one.

When it comes to the quality of the food being served in local schools, Cow Town, with its program run by noted chef Andreas Wurzrainer, is about a billion miles ahead of our next-door neighbor.

I have nephews in the South Whidbey school district, with one being especially vocal about the (low rent) food offerings.

It is a subject which comes up frequently, punctuated by long, Winston Churchill-style speeches which begin with, “I’m just sayin’!!” as he supervises me building ye olde burn pile.

Meanwhile, up here in Coupeville, better vittles mean better brains, which is probably why our test scores are higher than yours.

Just sayin’.

Coupeville schools, we’re fancy like that.

Lunch is on them.

All students enrolled in Coupeville schools will receive free meals during the 2021-2022 school year.

Thanks to extended funding from the United State Department of Agriculture, students will enjoy lunches cooked by Chef Andreas Wurzrainer and his staff at no charge.

School meal account deposits will not be necessary.

“(We want to) ensure all students are fueled and ready to learn,” the Coupeville Connected Food Program said in a statement.

“Our goal is to offer ALL of our students delicious, healthy food that is served safely and efficiently this year.”
