This Youth Justice Action Month, we’re focused on building a future where youth thrive, and JK is showing us what that looks like. 🎓
Next stop: Tarrant County College! We’re celebrating JK’s college acceptance and his plans to major in Management Information Systems. This exciting step marks a new chapter in his education, and we’re proud to cheer him on.
“Going to college means a lot to me because just a few months ago, I wasn’t sure I would even finish high school. My family never expected me to continue my education, but I want to build a better future for myself. I live by the saying, ‘Everybody got a sad story, you either use it as motivation or an excuse.’ I’m choosing motivation.” – JK
When young people are given opportunity, belief and support, there’s no limit to where they’ll go.
Congratulations, JK. We can’t wait to see what you build next!

We love celebrating our Interns of the Week!
Raven demonstrated our Building Bridges and All Hands core values through the support she provided to her teammates this week. With several new servers learning their roles, she stepped in to offer guidance and help them get comfortable on the floor.
Her willingness to share what she knows gave newer interns someone they could turn to during service. Raven’s helpfulness extended to everyone, showing that strong service includes taking care of the people working beside you.
Jordan demonstrated our All Hands and Digging In core values by stepping in wherever the kitchen needed him.
One moment he’s working in the dish pit, and the next he’s on the line cooking a steak. His willingness to move between responsibilities shows versatility and a strong commitment to the team. Whether someone asks for help or he notices a need himself, Jordan is ready to contribute. He understands that every station matters, and his initiative helps keep the kitchen moving.
Congratulations to you both!

There’s a moment in our kitchen that never gets old. It’s when a young person plates a dish, steps back and realizes they made that. 🍽️
Thanksgiving is an opportunity to give everyone a seat at the table. This year, our interns are the ones setting it. Every turkey they roast, every pan of dressing, every pie they crimp by hand is practice for the future they’re building, one where they’re the ones with the skills and the pride to bring people together.
Order your Thanksgiving spread today and pick up November 25 between 1-3PM!

For the grown ups’ table. 🍷
Austin Hope 2021 ‘Reserve’ Cabernet Sauvignon, Paso Robles: The showstopper. Bold, rich and velvety, made for the head of the table. ONLY 6 OF THESE AVAILABLE.
Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon, Paso Robles (1L): All the big, plush Paso Robles flavor in a bigger bottle. Ideal for a crowd, or for seconds.
Borealis Pinot Noir: Bright, silky Oregon Pinot. A classic turkey match that pairs well with just about everything on the plate.
House of Smith ‘Blossom Fury’ Riesling: A dry Washington Riesling with notes of peach, stone fruit and a hint of lime. It’s crisp and floral and loves a salty, savory side dish.
Domaine Durand Menetou-Salon Sauvignon Blanc: Fresh and zesty, from France’s Loire Valley, just next door to Sancerre. It cuts right through the richness and keeps every bite tasting bright.
Every bottle supports our young people, so pour generously!

Siara went above and beyond last week, consistently showing initiative and a willingness to help wherever she was needed. One thing that stands out about Siara is that she doesn’t need much direction. She recognizes what needs to be done and simply gets it done. As a busser, she continues to demonstrate reliability, independence and a strong work ethic.
Beyond her work, Siara has a unique sense of humor and personality that make her a great addition to the team. That ability to be herself while still taking care of business is something that will carry her well beyond Café Momentum.
Jeremiah showed what it truly means to be dependable and ready for whatever the team needs. When a last-minute opportunity came up to assist with catering, he didn’t hesitate to step in. Although he primarily works in the back of house, he already had his black pants available and was prepared to work a front-of-house event. That level of preparation speaks volumes about his commitment.
What made his efforts even more impressive was that he returned the very next day and worked a full shift, handling both catering responsibilities and the dish pit during brunch. Despite a demanding workload and limited assistance, Jeremiah never complained. He simply put his head down and got the job done.
Congratulations to these incredible young people!
