St. Andrew's Academy Fund Raiser

E-mail Print PDF

Every year at Donatelli's we invite the kids from St. Andrew's Academy to spend a day in the life of a Donatelli's staff member, as part of an annual fund raising effort. The youngsters greet customers, wait on tables, prepare & serve food, box leftovers and bus dishes. Parents and siblings watch as the kids try to balance food while keeping their cool. It's a tad chaotic at times, but so much fun for everyone involved. Check out our gallery of photos...

Food Network's Guy Fieri has been all over the Twin Cities this year: Bryant Lake Bowl, The Weinery, Town Talk Diner, Victor's 1959 Café, Emily's Lebanese Deli, The Modern, and, in an episode re-airing Friday at 8:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m., Donatelli's in White Bear Lake. I had heard of Donatelli's, but not in a way which brought any sort of formed image to mind, so Fieri introduced me to a restaurant in my own backyard (or at least on the White Bear-Mahtomedi border).

Donatelli's not your average 'Diner, Drive-in or Dive'
