Fit to serve royalty
A team of Stewart-Marchman-Act Behavioral Healthcare staff and their chefs prepared and served the king and queen of Spain during St. Augustine’s month-long 450th-anniversary celebration.
St. Augustine was the last stop on King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia's trip before they traveled back to Spain. Due to security reasons, they were not permitted to tell anyone until after the lunch.
"We were honored to be selected to prepare and serve King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia lunch at Flagler College in St. Augustine College," said Ivan Cosimi, SMA’s CEO. "With the talent of Chef David Bearl overseeing the delivery of food service at SMA, and conscientious staff like Kevin Gallagher, Alicia Vincent, Carolyn Sentelik, and Kelly Bazanos doing their part, our clients are treated like royalty every day.”
The chefs that prepared the food were SMA’s Chef Kirk Kief, Chef Kevin from WARM and University of Florida Chef David S. Bearl. The SMA staff that served the King and Queen were Rhonda Harvey, Carolyn Sentelik, Ivan Cosimi, Kelly Bazanos and Alicia Vincent.
The last visit by Spain's monarchs to the city was in April 2001, when Felipe's parents, King Juan Carlos I and Queen Sofía visited St. Augustine.
