Thank you to all who spoke up about the growing issue with missed online to-go orders. We have identified the problem and are working on a solution. The good news is that there is a failsafe option we can use until we find a long-term solution. Also, a gentle reminder of the 2 pm cutoff time when placing same-day dinner-to-go orders.

Chelsea Cromwell, our Operational Events manager, will be on maternity leave beginning Monday Nov. 10th, 2024. Until her return, for any personal catering event requests please contact Thomas Roberts at x4-9118 or email newbridgecatering@hsl.harvard.edu. You will receive a response to all catering requests within 48 to 72 hours. We are officially on baby watch and will keep the community posted on the status of our new arrival.

Drumstick roll please….. ….Turkey Tuesday in Nosh is going back to its roots! In response to feedback from the community, as well as the success of the “rabbi dinner” in Great Meadow Hall this past Tuesday, moving forward the set up for Turkey Tuesdays in Nosh will be the buffet-style set up we have used in the past. So whether you’re a fan of white or dark meat, there is Turkey for you! We hope to see you there soon.

Centro will be closed for lunch on Monday, November 11th for an event honoring the brave veterans here in our community. Thank you for your understanding and thank you to those who have served.

We hope these answers are helpful during this transition.

Meet Wiltes, Junior Sous Chef

Wiltes Seide came to America in 2009 from Haiti where he was born and raised and started a job at Newbridge in 2010 as a dishwasher. Wiltes wanted to get into cooking and the chef at the time felt he wasn’t ready to become a cook but rather urged him to go to culinary school and enhance his culinary experience. He graduated from Le Cordon Blue in 2012 with a certificate in culinary and then left Newbridge for a Prep Cook job at Davio’s Restaurant. 2 years later he moved to Legal Seafoods where he was a line cook. In 2023 he felt like it was time to return to Newbridge after spending some time at Boston College as a First cook and he was welcomed back with open arms.  14 months later after moving up the ladder, Wiltes is now the Junior Sous Chef in the Centro restaurant

Resident Recipe Corner.

If you know Newbridge, you know that our resident population includes some pretty amazing cooks. We’re excited to showcase our first resident recipe from Dorrit Senior. A little-known fact: Dorrit used to bake for a high-end restaurant owned by her son.

“My son called me one night and said ‘Mom, my baker isn’t working out. Can you just come in and bake a few desserts?’ I thought, ‘Why not?’ The rest is history! I baked their desserts for another five years,” said Dorrit.

“This recipe is from my cookbook I co-authored with Rolce Redard Payne named ‘Cooking with Fruit.’ I love stone fruits and we are almost in that season. Peaches of course are here now. This is one of my favorites and I hope you like it,” she said.
