                Apple A Day Cafe's Dynamic Duo- Scott & Bianca

                July 15, 2019

                Get to know: Scott Sanchez, FNS Coordinator

                Scott always thought he had a passion for cooking and he was really wanting to take the next step into a career that was more focused in something culinary. A good friend of his told him about Kirby and how great it was to work there. Scott is very hardworking, loyal, trustworthy and calm.

                "The best thing about my job is learning something new almost every day about cooking and getting to play around with ingredients to create something new.

                From working at Kirby Medical Center, I have gained so much more confidence in my abilities as a cook and most importantly confirmation that cooking is indeed my passion."

                "The best moment of my career is having all the hard work I’ve put in be recognized and result in a promotion."

                Scott's life outside of Kirby:

                Outside of work, he loves building computers. Something he doesn't get to do nearly as much as he would like to.

                Scott's typical work day:

                He has 3 different kinds of work days. His weekends which consist of prepping and setting up for the week. Monday and Tuesday which consists of cutting, portioning and packaging everything for Prairie fresh. If he is working Wednesday-Friday it consists of prepping for lunch that day and getting lunch for the next day ready as well taking care of patient needs.

                "I’m extremely excited to see exactly how far we can take Prairie Fresh this year. I can’t wait to see how far we can push this thing."

                Get to know: Bianca Zettler, FNS Cook

                Bianca had been working for McDonald's for 6 or 7 years and always enjoyed customer service but realized it was time for a change. Her brother, Scott, convinced her to apply for the open cafe position here at Kirby Medical Center.

                "I knew I eventually wanted to be a cook like him because I enjoyed watching the pride he took in caring for patient nutrition needs and I wanted to do the same.

                There are so many reasons I enjoy my job but the one I love the most is the team of people I work with in FNS. They are all so wonderful and helpful. We jump to help each other out whenever we can. Not many work teams are as close-knit as we are. From working at Kirby, I have gained confidence in my job and even my everyday life. Everyone at Kirby is so supportive and welcoming and that is very refreshing for me.

                The best moment of my career so far would be working with my brother, Scott, on Prairie Fresh. We have it pretty well hashed out now. He does the most production of food and I stick with the administrative side of it by sending all the emails. The fact that Kirby is implementing this is such a cool thing to be a part of."

                Bianca's life outside of Kirby:

                Bianca is married and has been with her husband going on 9 years in August. They have 3 beautiful children together, Reece (8), Elijah (3), and their daughter Alice who would have been 5 this year but sadly passed away 4 years ago.

                "My husband is a wonderful man. He is hilarious and the kids definitely got that from him. I don't know what I would do without them."

                Bianca has 6 siblings: Armando, Scott, Carlos, Sophia, Sulamita, and Charlotte.

                Spending time with her family is her favorite thing to do outside of work. With how quick kids grow up, she and her husband try not to miss a second with them.

                Bianca's typical work day:

                Her everyday work day is mainly cooking and prepping for the next day but she finds time to have a little fun with her coworkers in the kitchen while they are working. They are able to have fun together and remain professional at the same time.

                "I am excited to see how Prairie Fresh will come and how far we can take it. We have a wonderful team and I think this will turn into a great thing with all the people working behind it to make it the best it can be."

                Scott and Bianca's signature items with Apple A Day Cafe are the Sanchez Soup and Abuelit's Rice.
