Bistro Kids boss Meryl Gobett made a guest appearance in the kitchen Thursday.

Gobett mentioned a Bistro Kids app in the making to zap the congested lunch lines. She recognizes the lack of time students have for lunch, which is why Bistro has gradually been implementing things like a third cash register and two more chip racks.

This week, Chef Scott Brake talked about experimenting with cooking potatoes. This past summer he sought tips from a French chef in the town of Seymore, Missouri.

“It’s a little French restaurant in the middle of nowhere, but people drive from miles around,” Brake said.

These potatoes showcased themselves this past Tuesday, accompanying reuben sandwiches as “potatoes dejeuner.”

“It’s a different potato, tossed in garlic, dijon, salt and pepper,” Brake clarified.

Bistro Kids contributes culinary expertise to the surrounding community, too. Last Friday, Bistro did a live pig-roast for 60 people who bought it from the St. Teresa’s 2014 fall auction.

Bistro is serving pancakes for $5 Wednesday as a dance team fundraiser. It’s a “cash day,” so  you don’t need to have an account with Bistro.

And keep an eye out for more gluten-free options. Gluten-free pasta and bread is now available, as is veggies and hummus.
