ABOUT OUR SUPER Chef, Katie Barrio
Katie Barrio started her career in food services working in a hospital, but she knew she wanted to serve at a different level. While at the hospital, she saw what it meant to have compassion for people in difficult health situations. Several years ago, the chef working at Riverway Assisted Living saw the spark of compassion and love of food in Katie and knew she would be a great fit at Riverway. When the former chef retired, it was a natural for Katie to take their place and be the chef at Riverway.
For Katie, preparing food is part of her DNA. In fact, her mom had gone to culinary school, and Katie’s husband owns and operates a popular café in the valley. Katie kind of likes that her husband is in the “biz” and typically takes care of family meals. All of this has been baked into Katie with the love and desire to make and share delicious food with the residents at Riverway.
If you ask, Katie loves to make pasta dishes — usually with her own twist. If it needs a tomato sauce, she’ll go with it. Alfredo? Not a problem. She loves to adapt to the needs and wants of the residents. Nothing makes her day more than when a resident tells her how much they love her cooking. We are lucky to have Katie as part of our team here at Riverway.
