Kyle Hollenbeck & Tommy D'Ambrosio, Aioli Burgers
Alumni Kyle Hollenbeck and Tommy D'Ambrosio focused on a two-fold mission: 1) continue to employ their staff, and 2) feed their community during this pandemic. At the onset of the pandemic, Aioli Burgers rolled out a meal plan that offers rotating menu items on a weekly basis. These meals are prepared and cooked in their commercial production kitchen in accordance with health department guidelines. The meals just need to be reheated.
Kyle and Tommy determined they could also give back to the community by preparing and delivering meals to first responders: fire, police, and hospital workers to name a few groups they are reaching out to. “We are so grateful for our first responders and want to thank them for all they do for our community,” Kyle Hollenbeck said. “By purchasing these donated prepared meals, you will not just help support them but will help support our employees as well.”
"We have had such a great time creating these meals for our weekly-meals fans and for our first responders,” Chef Tommy D’Ambrosio said. Numbers of meals have continued to increase week after week. The first week brought 600 meals prepared for the community. The second week, 1,800 meals were prepared, and 800 of those were donated to first responders. By the third week, Aioli Burgers prepared 2,500 meals and 1,500 of those were donated! "We have 30 staff members and due to our timely pivot, we have not had to lay off any of these people. They have families and are family to us,” Kyle said.
Take a break from cooking and let Chef Tommy D'Ambrosio do the cooking for you! Aioli Burgers weekly meals can be delivered or picked up from their restaurant.
