HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY Summer Taste Test
Over the summer, Hillsborough County launched a new Summer Taste Testing initiative. As part of this effort, our team visited two schools, West Tampa Elementary and Hunter’s Green Elementary, to introduce students to a variety of new menu items. Approximately 120 students participated in the tasting, sampling dishes such as Chicken Asada Nachos, Teriyaki Beef Dippers, and Red sweet Chili Chicken. The goal was to gather feedback and observe student’s reactions to these new offerings. The overwhelming favorite was the Chicken Asada Nachos, followed closely by the Teriyaki Beef Dippers.
One particularly enthusiastic 4th grade student, age 9, shared his thoughts after trying the Teriyaki Beef Dippers. “It was juicy, the spice was the perfect heat, the temperature was just right, and the texture nothing like I’ve ever had before in my life of existence!” We appreciate all the students who participated and provided valuable feedback.
