Like any chef, Kenneth A. Bunns appreciates a compliment. Recently, while leaving Old Soul, the coffee shop on Broadway and 35th Street in Oak Park, he encounters three young men enjoying takeout food – fresh corn, Mexican style — they received from nearby Wellspring Women’s Center.
“Man, this is great!” says the older of the three.
A grin creases the face of the man known as “Chef,” who is winding up another workday as Wellspring’s new hospitality manager. The compliments to Chef are as good as currency.
Chef Ken joined Wellspring in March, after two years of retirement and, before that, an adventurous, wide-ranging and successful career in the many facets of food preparation, services and administration.
