Let's help make a variety of foods approachable to kids.
We are a group of chefs, restaurateurs, and community food advocates that works with students, parents, educators, and the community to assist schools in rethinking relationships with food.

“If I’m reaching the children that are in kindergarten through eighth grade, then that effort translates into a high school student that wants to have a better lunch program. It’ll continue to an adult who eats better. It’ll continue to an adult that expects better from what is coming out of those cafeterias.”
— Chef Charleen Badman for the James Beard Foundation
