Culinary Delights a Student Favorite |
|
Frank and Maryanne Giambona of Marcesco Foods, AHN's Food Service Professionals for 10 years and counting. |
|
Gone are the days of square-shaped pizza slices, fish sticks, turkey-on-a-stick (yes, that was a real thing), or anything else that could be put on a stick. This isn’t your parent’s school lunch, or even yours for that matter.
The dining experience crafted by Marcesco Foods, led by Frank and Maryanne Giambona has become one of the signature elements of the Holy Names experience, and a student favorite.
