Single Mom Outsources School Lunches to Hamptons Chef and Latino Mom Mafia
KEY POINTS
- •Felicia Medina struggled making lunches after divorce, with kids living in East Hampton and hours-long commutes.
- •She enlisted a private chef and a local Latina mother to prepare meals, paying them for their time and ingredients.
- •Meals were picked up on set days, ensuring her kids ate home-cooked lunches despite her busy event-production schedule.
Felicia Medina, a single Hamptons event producer, used to channel her inner culinary goddess crafting tacos, mac and cheese, and scones for her kids—fresh from two local CSAs overflowing with farm goodies. Post-divorce, with her kids living 30-40 minutes (and sometimes two-hour) East Hampton freeway nightmares away, Felicia’s Sunday meal marathons clashed with peak party season busiest weekends. Enter the Hamptons private chef friend she begged to set aside gourmet portions and a Latino mama warrior whipping up pulled chicken and crunchy greens on the daily—all paid gigs picked up en route during gridlock commutes. Mom guilt traded for outsourced love, one rice bowl at a time.
