High Schools Provide Unique Food Education

Friday, May 4th, 2012

Throughout the country, high school teens are coming up with innovative ways to get their schools and classmates involved in, er, beefing up school food. Whether it’s planting school gardens, running in-school cafes or  improving the fare on the lunch line, students are trying to find ways to incorporate sustainability, care for the planet and entrepreneurship into their classroom curriculum. The Daily Meal dishes on its findings.

Customers Buzzing Over Hornets’ Bee-stro

Thursday, February 16th, 2012

The Preble High School (Green Bay, Wis.) Hornets are a force to be reckoned with on the field – and in the kitchen. The school’s culinary students whipped up yet another feast the other day in the Hornets’ Bee-stro. This one included everything from watercress salad to boeuf bourguignon to strawberry chocolate pudding. Teen chefs figure the costs, prepare and serve the food, even clean-up afterwards. About 60 diners turned up on Valentine’s Day, including the city’s mayor.
