TSAS students enjoying fresh, healthy meals by former Blue Dome Diner owner

TULSA - Brian Prewitt is taking his catering services to a new level as the new face of food for TSAS.

Prewitt, the owner of the once-popular Blue Dome Diner, outbid big companies for the contract to provide meals for TSAS students.

His staff consists of several guys in head bandanas and tattoos. Not exactly the cafeteria norm, but Prewitt isn't lacking confidence.

"It's different for [ TSAS students] because anything that we put out there -- fresh veggies, good meat -- they eat up everything we make everyday," Prewitt said.

His goal is simple: provide fresh nutritious meals under $3.50 cents a meal for 300 students. That means starting up the ovens at 6 a.m. every day in preparation for hundreds of hungry students.

But the alarm clock isn't his staff's only impediment.

"The kitchen didn't burn but I'm not allowed to go in there because of asbestos," he said. "There was asbestos in the front of the school and when that burns it puts it everywhere."

Needed supplies like a walk-in refrigerator, bread slicer and mixer were left inside.

But, at least so far, Prewitt's formula seems to be working.

"I like it, its not processed like most school lunches, its healthier and better tasting," said TSAS student Katy Rigsbee.
