There is no doubt that lunch time remains our students’ favorite time of day. Besides the variety of nutritious offerings our SAGE dining staff provides, lunch remains a time to form connections amongst students, teachers and staff. This year, students have seen a new smiling face behind the counter.
Chef Terry Fontenette comes to WCS from Awty International School. He has been in the culinary industry for over 10 years with experience ranging from the Houston Country Club to a private chef. During his short time on campus, he has already proven to be a perfect fit for the Wildcat family.
Get to know Chef Fontenette
What do you enjoy the most about being a chef?
TF: “For me, cooking has always been reminiscent of my family, like the big gatherings and get-togethers. It was just a wholesome experience to see everyone put aside all of our differences, just for the sake of food. So, that is what I want to offer to the people I cook for every day. ”
When did you know you wanted to be a chef?
TF: “Outside of family, I was mentored by relatives and uncles. I never really pursued cooking or being a chef until I took a culinary class out of intrigue in high school. When I took that class it really sparked something in me. It made me want to pursue more.”
Do you have a favorite meal or food item to cook?
TF: “That is really hard to say because I have experienced a little of everything. I do not have one particular thing. I want to try everything. I am definitely the type of person who is open minded. So, anything that is new, I want to try it.”
How have you enjoyed your time at WCS?
TF: “Westbury Christian has been absolutely fantastic. Everyone has smiles on their faces. Everyone has been so hospitable and welcoming. I am enjoying it very much. I really just hope to get to know everyone here. It’s a great family. You all have created and cultivated an amazing environment. I hope to contribute to that. With the same feeling I get from food, I hope to spread to everyone else through the food I cook.”
