We implemented “Restaurant Inspiration Day” . Once a month we featured signature dishes/items from local restaurants. Staff dressed and decorated the serving area in the featured restau- rant decor. Often, the featured restaurant donated decorations to help add to the festivities. Lunch participation hit record numbers on “Restaurant Inspiration Day”, and we received wonderful com- ments from students and parents on social media. Needless to say, “Restaurant Inspiration Day” was a great success!
We have implemented globally inspired entrees and concepts into our menu and have seen great success with that. The var- ious flatbread recipes we have incorporated have been a huge hit - Cheeseburger flatbread, BBQ chicken flatbread, Philly chees- esteak flatbread, Thai chicken flatbread, and most notably the Caprese flatbread.
“Restaurant Inspiration Day” restaurants included:
• Panda Express (Chicken and Vegetable Potstickers w/Home- made Fried Rice and Fortune Cookies) • Chipotle (Pork Carnita and Turkey Barbacoa Bowls w/Cilantro Lime Rice, Black Beans and Roasted Corn) • Chick-Fil-A (Dill Chicken Sandwich w/Waffle Fries) • Olive Garden (Chicken Alfredo, Signature Salad w/Olive Gar- den Dressing and Warm Garlic Breadsticks) • I-Hop ( Scrambled Eggs, Sausage Patties, Crispy Tator Tots and Fluffy Pancakes w/Warm Fruit Topping) • Checkers (All-American Burger, Seasoned Fries and Strawber- ry Cheesecake Sundae)
