Neighborhood Co-op has designed a quick, convenient and inexpensive home-cooking program – called Rush Hour Recipes - to help customers shop for, plan and prepare a healthy, tasty, and economical meal that serves four people for less than $20 in under 30 minutes. And in a decidedly interactive twist unique to any store in the region, this program is administered -  in the flesh, no less - by a professional chef who can be found at the Co-op on alternating Friday evenings from 4 to 6 p.m. sampling his culinary creations as well as offering tasty alternative tips for carnivores, herbivores and celiacs alike. Chef Bill - as he is commonly known both on and off campus - is Bill Connors, the Executive Chef for Housing Operations at SIUC. He is a graduate of the Washburne Culinary Institute in Chicago - and like many who call Southern Illinois home, fell in love with the people, the flora and the fauna of the region and decided to permanently stay put.
