More of an all-encompassing lunchroom experience than solely about food, is a new way of thinking about cafeteria design. With comfy couches and chairs, a “self-expression” wall for students to voice themselves, and a broad selection of both grab-and-go and made-to-order eating options, it caters to the teenage lifestyle like never before during school hours. Menu highlights include “Santa Fe Turkey” (turkey, ham, bacon and cheddar baked with chili mayo in a sub roll), “So Sesame Chicken” (served in an authentic Chinese food container) and “Chicken Fredo Roll” (a baked pizza dough pocket filled with grilled chicken, Alfredo sauce, bacon and Parmesan cheese). The health of the student body is no joke to the public school district of. Thanks to chef and activist Alice Waters, who developed the, the powers-that-be eliminated all processed foods from Berkeley school lunch menus, as well as hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils, high-fructose corn syrup, refined sugars, and other harmful chemicals, dyes, and additives that routinely make their way into institutional eats.
The menu features food from local sources, including all kinds of Mexican delights (burritos, enchiladas, tamales, nachos, quesadillas, crispy and soft tacos), balsamic chicken wraps, and spicy teriyaki drumsticks with root vegetable slaw. With one-third of its meals sourced locally, an in-depth beekeeping program, and a brand-new food truck program starting in Spring 2014 that will become an integral part of business and culinary arts classes in, this Vermont school district is one of the most innovative in terms of how it approaches eating and nutrition.

No kidding: the French Culinary Institute’s chef Bobo is in charge of this l’s, and he doesn’t disappoint. Ten-day menus are submitted a week in advance by rotating members of Bobo’s kitchen squadron, with each set containing 40 percent chicken, 20 percent red meat, 20 percent fish and 20 percent vegetarian. There’s a fully stocked salad bar with dressings made from scratch each day by in-house chefs, along with daily soups, sandwiches (which are typically vegetarian), and starches like quinoa and whole-wheat. If you’ve got the two First Daughters enrolled at your academy, you’d better be sure the lunch is luxurious. And that’s exactly how it is at. Cuisines you’d never dream of show up on the menu here, such as an entire lunch of Brazilian delicacies like feijoada, caldo verde soup, all-natural chicken with coconut milk, and mango and pineapple with lime and mint.
