School Food Watch:3

Zak is a graduate of The FCI, celebrated owner of The Fatty Crab and its siblings, and father of a kid at PS 3. Just like Bill Telepan he got involved in the cafeteria. And PS 3 is part of the Wellness in the Schools program.
PS 3 had something special though. This school had an empty science lab and a dynamic principal who wants to start allowing the teachers to teach cooking as part of their curriculum. Zak called me and asked if we could help out. We loved the idea! Phil Gutensohn, our Director of Placement and the Executive Director of The FCI (Future Chefs Initiative) is spearheading our school’s effort to help this program train the teachers, work with them on curriculums and set a template for other schools to follow.
The first historic meeting took place on the last days of school in June and the steering committee is raring to go. I will keep you posted on the evolution of this project.
