PRIMED & PREPPED IS OVERCOMED WITH APPRECIATION!


Primed & Prepped had the opportunity to thank some key supporters at our Annual Appreciation Dinner. It included Faz Poursohi, Faz Restaurants, Man Kim, Lori's Diner, Sears Fine Food and Golden Gate Grill & Bar and Casey Neuburger, Director of Human Resources, InterContinental Hotel.
Faz prepared the dessert for the dinner...  Lemon Cheese Cake topped with Quince Preserves.  YUMMY! You can always have some when you visit one of his  FAZ locations.
 Gina Former  also Congratulated and Thanked Faz for his many contributions to Primed & Prepped! Faz was our go to guy when we first opened the kitchen. He helped us with ordering the supplies and equipment that was needed!
Man Kim is the epitome of a generous person. Primed & Prepped is truly blessed to have him on our team!
 Man Kim was humbled by our show of appreciation. The young men of Primed & Prepped adore him! His Golden Gate Grill Restaurant is one of their favorite restaurants. During the Holiday Season he invited them for dinner where they could order anything on the menu and that was a treat they'll never forget!
Casey Neuburger is committed to supporting Primed & Prepped. His dedication goes beyond his work at the Intercontinental Hotel the place where President Obama stays when he's in town! I love saying that!
Casey came with several co-workers that included: Ulysses Skyes,Conference Service Manager, Vince Latigue, Area Director of Saftey & Security, Peter Koehler, Regional Director of Operations, Jared Lamb,  Engineer was also present but not in this photo along with Kelly and P&P student.
