Cafe celebrates five years of feeding people, helping students

by | Oct 7, 2021 | Latest

 Gabriella Ostrom wants a career in the culinary arts. 

Her interest in the cooking field began when she used to do box mixes with her mother. 

“And I just loved them so much, and I started doing recipes from scratch,” said Ostrom, a Wylie High School senior. 

She does a lot of cooking at home, from breakfast to dinner. 

Ostrom also has received a good prepping, so to speak, for the field of cooking as a student in Wylie ISD. 

She participates in an internship at The 544 Cafe, which celebrates its fifth year in operation on Oct. 5, the day it reopened to the public. The district oversees the restaurant operation. 

For the complete story, see this week’s edition of the Murphy Monitor.
