Jenna Thompson, Staff Writer

From the muffins to the fries to the salads to the lunch specials, you can have almost any food imaginable at the NDP cafe. This is thanks to the hard work, imagination, and care of Mrs. and Mr. Barry, who have successfully run the NDP cafe since 2003. Mrs. Barry has now been running her catering business, Cristi Barry Cuisine, for over twenty-two years. Her favorite thing to cook is Italian food, because of its endless possibilities of meals to create. She also enjoys making the specials that only happen once in a while, like the shrimp that is available on Fridays during Lent. The Barrys love working here at NDP, and when asked what their favorite part about working at NDP was, Mrs. Barry said, “Everything!” and added it is just a fun place to work, with two days never being the same. Mr. Barry agreed and said, “It is fun to me” and that the students help keep them young. They enjoy creating their signature dishes, but they always love hearing suggestions!
