Durham Bowls, an exciting event to convene our community around school food.
Chefs and School Nutrition Managers from across Durham have formed teams and developed a unique and delicious recipe – a meal in a bowl – to compete in the inaugural Durham Bowls competition.
The rules of the competition are written by Mr. Jim Keaten, Director of Child Nutrition for Durham Public Schools (DPS). Teams will be asked to meet the same strict requirements Mr. Keaten faces when developing recipes for students in Durham. That means a tight budget, limited kitchen tools, and strict nutritional requirements. It won’t be easy, but the experienced School Nutrition Staff and the chefs of “America’s Foodiest Small Town” are up for the challenge!
We are team “Light Blue” and have been teamed up with Venice Prince of Lucas Middle School. In meeting Venice, I was immediately impressed how much she genuinly cares for the children she feeds daily. She recognizes that for some children, the meals she prepares are the only hot meals they will have all day and that is something she takes very seriously.
Please join us on October 13th 3-6pm for the unveiling of the 2018 Durham Bowls! Venice and I will present our new tasty new school recipe along with 10 other Chef + School Nutrition Manager teams and a panel of student judges will announce the awards. Don’t miss it!
