Meet Our Chefs Chef Gary: Gary Hurtubise hails from Rhode Island where he worked on food trucks (well before they became as popular as they are now) and learned customer service skills and how to make people happy through food. Gary went back to school at age 35, worked at various restaurants and landed at Spectrum Generations in 2005. “I knew I had I found a place to call home about a month into working at the Muskie Center when I realized how much need there was for nutritious meals and how much we were doing to fulfill that need for the community. I love working with food and people and for me that’s a win-win situation.” Cohen on the Meadows Catering highlights his background and passion for food and community in creating a unique dynamic that aims at taking care of the needs and wants of all customers.

Testimonials "I want to personally thank you and your wonderful Cohen Community Center staff for doing a superb job of handling the Rotary Club of Augusta’s weekly meeting and special event needs. Your team consistently delivers a great mix of professionalism and friendly customer service while orchestrating even the smallest of details. You have a top notch operation and we are grateful to have such a strong partner in the Cohen Community Center.” -John McLaughlin President Rotary Club of Augusta Cohen on the Meadows was the location for my Bridal Shower. It was held in the middle of May so we were able to take full advantage of the beautiful spring views. The location of Cohen on the Meadows as super easy for all attendees to get to - being only a few miles off of I95 made travel easy for family and friends coming from the north and south. The event space was absolutely beautiful. The tables and chairs provided made the event more comfortable rather then your typical folding chairs used for large events. The room provided the perfect canvas to add additional decorations, but not feel the need to go overboard. The large picture window overlooking the field made for a beautiful back drop to the event. I could not have been happier with how beautiful my shower turned out. -Nicole Kane, Bride I want to give major kudos to Stephen for being an absolutely amazing person to work with. He truly is great at managing and planning events and also really attentive to guests the day of. I can't compliment Stephen enough on how wonderful of a job he does. -Samantha...
