What would it feel like to walk through the doors of your work, knowing that you are completely loved? What would that do for you? What would that have done for you as a young adult? That's the question we try to answer every day. We believe healing happens in an environment rich with love. We believe growth happens when we feel safe enough to fail. We know that transformation is not a straight line. We believe that transformation happens in the presence of time and support and love and challenge. #mondaymotivation

Passing the microphone to the youth of Old Skool Cafe is one of the aspects I most love about my work. Hearing directly from them, in their own words, in their own voice is a powerful way to create change and empower youth to take charge of their futures. This week I am thrilled that the microphone got passed to Old Skool Cafe alum Chef Jordan Ramsay on the Mystery Recipe Podcast @testkitchenkids! Chef Jordan -- yes! Of Jordan's Famous Fried Chicken! -- talks about his experience at Old Skool Cafe and what it's like to work in a restaurant. The podcast is fun for the whole family. I hope you'll take a listen and share the episode! - @testkitchen @mollyabirnbaum

"This place is so damn good. The fried chicken was crispy and seasoned super well. The chicken itself was juicy. The serving size was generous and worth the price. I was honestly surprised by how much food I got (leg, thigh, and wing)... The mashed potatoes were perfect. Thick yet fluffy. Just the right amount of garlic and butter. Super happy with these. The brownie was really good. Came with a german chocolate type topping. (Maybe this has another name, but I've only had it on a german chocolate cake, so I'm sorry if that's wrong). And ice cream on top. The brownie could serve two in my opinion. Super happy over all. I'll definitely be coming back."
