Bronx —
When the city Board of Health voted to ban trans fats from city restaurants in December 2006, many small business owners had no idea what the transition would entail.
Now the city is sponsoring a series of free workshops for restaurant professionals intended to ease the burden of figuring out how to comply and cook without partially hydrogenated fats.
On October 2, 30 food professionals gathered in the Bronx, all with the same goal: to learn how to make their restaurants trans fat free.
