Trindy Gourmet On The Go is a specialty catering service and café located in the Historic Northwest District of West Palm Beach, FL.
Trindy Gourmet was recognized as the 2016 Black Chamber Small Business of the Year. In 2018, we launched “Cooking With Trindy,” which is now in Title 1 grant-funded programs and brings healthy cooking classes and demonstrations to students and families at West Riviera Elementary School in Riviera Beach, FL, and Gove Elementary School in Belle Glade, FL. This program introduces new and healthy recipes to students and their parents, and then sends each participant home with the ingredients to recreate recipes.
Our national partnerships with the American Heart Association and Healthier Neighbors brought healthy cooking demos to local medical centers. Trindy Gourmet has also offered similar kid-friendly robust cooking programs during summer months at the Spady Museum in Delray Beach. This specific program created recipes and demos centered around food offerings available in the community garden within walking distance of the museum.
As an advocate for community empowerment and development, we have partnered with the United Way and Healthier Neighbors to launch the Healthy Corner Store Initiative in 2018. This project targets neighborhood corner stores in marginalized and “food desert” communities, to bring new and healthy food alternatives to residents. During the first phase of this initiative, residents who frequented JW—a popular corner store in Riviera Beach—were surveyed to understand their acute dietary needs better.
This survey was done in conjunction with two days of healthy food demonstrations and recipe dissemination. The data collected, provided our partners and us with information to offer new, ready-made food selections and recipe ingredients inside local neighborhood stores. This ongoing initiative will target and help improve corner stores throughout Palm Beach County.
Alongside several healthy food-related community initiatives, our Founder-CEO, Trinnette Morris also prioritizes offering my culinary and catering expertise to aspiring and rising industry professionals. Through certified catering classes and continuing education programs, we provide local chefs and caters behind-the-scenes business workshops, catering coaching services, mentorship, and apprenticeship programs. We also serve as a guest resident chef for the Capital One Café in downtown West Palm Beach.
In 2018, Trindy Gourmet had a surprise celebrity visit from Martha Stewart, who enjoyed breakfast at the café after a delayed flight back to New York. Other media features include a 2018 Palm Beach Post article with Reese Witherspoon that highlighted the cooking inspiration our CEO drew from her grandmother; a 2018 profile for Voyage MIA and a Sun-Sentinel article highlighting our cooking classes at the Spady Museum.
