The following week, the class made a visit to Kitchen Repose on West Fourth Street, a prepared food and home delivery service, where they met with owner/operator Carnie Datres, a registered dietitian nutritionist.

“Kitchen Repose has a unique business model showcasing healthy and nutritious foods that customers can pre-order and have delivered or pick up,” Trometter explained.
