HIV-Positive Cooks smashing a stigma: A great idea

HIV-Positive Cooks smashing a stigma: A great idea

Toronto Canada has a group of foodies on a mission. These gourmet cooks created a pop-up restaurant called June’s on Tuesday. This is not a food truck or a gimmick: June’s on Tuesday is using food and servers to smash a stigma. Everyone preparing and serving the food is HIV-Positive per a recent Telegraph UK article. The cooks/servers are a pretty diverse group. No idea where they contracted HIV and frankly, that is none of our business. Which is the point of June’s on Tuesday. To educate and stop the fear and stigma of HIV.

Located in Toronto, the restaurant called June’s on Tuesday was serving its first meals prepared by HIV-positive cooks to dispel any notion that food preparation can spread the virus.

Wearing aprons printed with such messages as “Kiss the HIV+ cook” and “I got HIV from pasta. Said no one ever,” June’s 14 HIV-positive cooks will be serving customers who prepaid to reserve their tables.
