    Trinity Village chef delivers big laughs with a golden spoon surprise

    January 2, 2026
    Chef Dave recently surprised resident Pete with a very large, golden spoon.

    Chef Dave recently surprised resident Pete with a gift that had everyone smiling: a very large, golden spoon.

    In true Dave fashion, he shared how Pete was one of the first residents to warmly welcome him to Trinity Village, while also joking that Pete has kept him on his toes ever since. From requests for new ice cream flavors to the now-famous Pete’s Pulled Pork, Pete has never been shy about sharing feedback.

    Most recently, Pete mentioned that our “Nebraska” spoons were a little too small… so Chef Dave decided to do something about it.

    The result? A perfectly over-the-top golden spoon, given in good fun and even better spirit.

    Well played, Chef Dave, and thanks to Pete for being such a big part of what makes our community feel like home.
