THIS IS NOT COMMODITY BEEF !!

FARM FRESH BURGERS

Hamburger or Cheeseburger Burger Trimmings

Homemade Cole Slaw 

Oven-Baked “Fries” 

Fresh Fruit

GF when taken without bun 

Our district has contracted with a New York State farm to provide beef raised without antibiotics and hormones. It is more expensive and there is less beef on the menu as a result but it is a huge improvement in the quality of our lunches. We season and prepare this dish. 

The potato fries are processed frozen  fries we buy from McCains's, a big food service vendor. They contain:  potatoes, vegetable oil (contains one or more of the following: canola oil, soybean oil, cottonseed oil, sunflower oil, corn oil), potato starch modified, rice flower, dextrin, sugar, leavening (sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate), salt malt powder (malted barley, wheat flower, dextrose), natural flavor, maltodextrin, spice and coloring, xanthan gum, corn starch-modified, triglycerides, annatto (color), sodium acid pyrophosphate added to preserve natural color. The label indicates they have 6g of fat and 170mg of sodium.

The coleslaw is homemade. Not exactly sure of the ingredients at this point.  Pile on the trimmings for veggies.  Or better yet, make your way to the salad bar. 

 Enjoy the long weekend !! Happy Martin Luther King Day !
