The Cleveland Family Meal Story
“Family meal” is celebrated throughout the restaurant industry before every dinner service. It gives the staff a chance to break bread and bond. At Summer House in Lakewood, Chef Vinnie Cimino, Chef Ryan Boone and staff had just celebrated a successful first week of business when the COVID-19 crisis hit. With an order by authorities, the restaurant was suddenly closed and over 50 co-workers were now laid off. With a kitchen full of food inventory and their restaurant family in need, the Summer House staff prepared meals and fresh produce to hand out as family meal. Knowing that other service industry professionals are in need, Chefs Cimino, Boone and team continue to work with local food suppliers and farmers to gather donations and invite folks to pick-up food. Cleveland Family Meal was born to provide provisions and prosperity to industry and hospitality families in a time of need.
