Today we had the opportunity to visit the Flatbread Company
in Amesbury, MA. I had been to this
pizza place prior to our journey today and was overly excited to return. Many Brooks students love this pizza and
claim that it is their favorite kind in the world, which means that it is
definitely good. It was so refreshing
and intriguing to learn the ins and outs of this business through the
experience of a long time employee. He was brief in discussing how they prepare
and make the meals each day but in the end that made sense to me because he
later went on to describe how everything they make is from local markets and
producers. In a world that is consumed by hormone infested fast food all
natural food is extremely hard to come by. So in the end Flatbread has a very
simple menu but executes each item perfectly, which in my mind is why it is successful.
People continue to go to a restaurant that consistently makes great food and
Flatbread delivers on that notion without question. Not only was it a privilege to be able to
visit Flatbread and see how their business is run but to actually get to make
our own pizzas. I think this experience
showed each student in my class that making pizza really is not that hard. I think everybody recognized that there are ways
to make healthy, beautiful pizzas in the matter of minutes. This class is all about exploring the
culinary field and today I think our class got more of an insight into
America’s favorite food.
