Chefs Visit 2 Elementary Schools in Hamburg Today to Taste Test the Buffalo Style Chicken Wing Wrap








Well our Chefs visited 2 elementary schools in the Hamburg School District -- the majority of the students sampled the healthy wrap and loved it!  Full of protein in the chicken, hummus and cheese as well as crunchy celery and complex carbohydrates in the whole wheat wrap for a slow release of energy -- no sugar spikes and drops for our students with this well rounded snack!

Taste Testing a Nutritious Take on a Buffalo Style Chicken Wing Wrap with Guest Chefs

Our high school students taste tested the Buffalo Style Chicken Wing Wrap -- the verdict is -- Many students liked it -- most tried it.

Our fabulous and dedicated lunch ladies prepared 550 samples of our healthy wrap made with chicken, hummus, cheese, and celery (and a little Frank's Hot Sauce of course).  Ranched up Hidden Valley Salsa was available on the side.  Out of 400 pieces offered to the high school students -- 161 really enjoyed it.  Some were trying a new taste for the first time.  Mostly all the students sampled it.

This is the beginning of a fun week with our Celebrity Chefs Steven Binks and Pat Koch and our dedicated Food Service Staff led by Linda Muldoon! 

Thank you to all our taste testers (the students), parent volunteers and SOLE!
