As Ford celebrates 120 years of mobility innovation, employees will literally be able to get a taste of the history that came before them.
Using recipes from a 1930s-era Ford soybean cookbook — the protein-rich legumes were one of founder Henry Ford’s interests — as well as historic recipes from the former Ford Times magazine, Ford has created a special 120th anniversary menu for employees this summer. Select menu items — including a rotation of soups and cheesecakes, the iconic Maurice Salad, and more — will be available at all café locations in Southeast Michigan.
“We’re always focused on improving the workplace experience, and one of the ways to do that is through offering really good food,” said Ford Senior Executive Chef Scott Simpson. “Not only is Ford trying to find new ways to fuel the industry, we’re trying to find new ways to fuel the employees who are creating those vehicles.”
Ford Archives and Heritage Brand Manager Ted Ryan said the menu adds a unique element to the company’s 120th anniversary by modernizing classic recipes.
