“Good To-Go� - Easy Meals for Outdoor Enthusiasts
Professional chef Jennifer Scism and business partner/husband David Koorits are founders of Good To-Go in York, a fast-growing business that makes dehydrated food for outdoor enthusiasts.
By Staff Writer Joyce Amend YORK Want to know a good recipe for success? Take one experienced chef, a bevy of healthful, cholesterol-free foods, a business partner/husband and a strong desire to make trail food taste delicious – and you have ingredients that yield healthy dehydrated meals for all whose adventures take them outdoors. These meals have been branded “Good To-Go.� Good To-Go had its beginning with Jennifer Scism, accomplished chef and long-
time co-owner of a nationally recognized restaurant in New York’s Greenwich Village. It’s safe to say Jen knows good food, having traveled to over 20 countries studying regional foods, and having beaten Iron Chef, Mario Batali on the TV Food Network’s Iron Chef Program. Jen also loves adventure and with her husband and Good ToGo’s co-founder, David Koorits, the two enjoy exploring the outdoors. Good To-Go had it’s beginning as the couple’s outdoor day trips turned to overnights
and extended backcountry adventures. Jen struggled with the limited opportunity for fresh and delicious foods to take with them. Being a professional chef, she began preparing her favorite meals and dehydrating them at home in her countertop dehydrator. Through trial and error, the two were able to take in their outdoor surroundings and complete their adventures with amazing meals. Jen’s creations were so delicious that they wanted everyone to be able to enjoy them. See To-GO page 8...
