Hello everyone. I would love to know what state or country/region you all are in. So whenever you post can you include that? I’m the executive chef of two school districts in rural Western Vermont. We have completely free school meals. The taxes are higher because of the many social programs we have in our state but lunch is not depressing coming from the kitchens I run. We put forward the effort our students deserve. We fabricate raw product and do about 80% scratch cooking with 21% of our products coming locally or in-state. A lot of how your school food looks depends on how you vote, not to politicize it but it is true. Kids need healthy meals that make them HAPPY at school. So my model is one hot special daily (the top one is Szechuan Chicken Noodle Bowl)and a healthy blend of grab and go food in biodegradable containers. Most students are served and eating in ten minutes. Limiting variety but offering better food has worked exponentially better than any other model I tried. (Also each of the high schools I oversee has over 500 students)

For context, my school uses two lunch lines at once to deal with the influx of students looking to get food. First photo is the chicken Alfredo from the left one, second photo is the chicken Alfredo from the right one, these were served during the same day. The taste and texture difference were definitely noticeable.

When I was in elementary school first through third grade, my school offered this cinnamon cake bread and I’ve been trying to find it since then and I can’t. Does anybody know what I’m talking about?

School Breakfast 


I used to get these every day going to Enoch’s they had spicy chicken, melted cheese wrapped in tortilla. I really would like to know the brand or if they assemble them themselves ? Not sure but I loved them ! Any info would be helpful

Enochs highschool modesto- spicy chicken wraps

Sorry I couldn’t find an accurate picture but my school had these breakfast sandwiches which were the only reason I showed up to school on time. I graduated high school in 2015, so they are  maybe discontinued but worth a shot. Standard breakfast sandwich with egg (yellow puck shaped), sausage, & cheese. It was in between something between an English muffin and a biscuit, more English muffin, it was a soft bready something but hard to say one or the other. They served them in a little plastic bag like a sandwich ziplock without the ziplock. I imagine they bought these in bulk through GFS or another food delivery service. They were top notch though. I went to school in Michigan between Lansing and Flint if that helps. It would be cool to get a box and have something quick before work. Thanks.

Breakfast Sandwich 

Not sure how to feel about this and idk the usda rules for breakfast at daycare centers but this was served to my 4 year old son for breakfast. There is no way this is allowed not to mention even filling to a dog let alone a child.
