Anthony Weiner Cooking Up Way To Give Back To Rockaways

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Anthony Weiner is cooking up a new way to give back to the Rockaways, WCBS 880’s Rich Lamb reported.

A published report Thursday said former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner is planning to open a restaurant in the Rockaways. Weiner’s name was also listed as one of the principals for the Rockaway Restoration Kitchen, described on Idealist.org as a “social entrepreneurship that operates a healthy, sustainable restaurant in a hard luck community to provide training, on-the-job apprenticeship and placement in the culinary and food service sector for unemployed New Yorkers.”

Weiner says the restaurant project is in its very early stages and intends the eatery to have a nutritious menu, be locally-sourced and provide a training ground for locals to make them more employable.
