Bought or brought? Revisit the nostalgia of the school cafeteria with this collection of interviews, vivid portraits, and elaborately reimagined food photos.
Food often unites us in unexpected ways--especially on Taco Salad Day. Drawing on material from more than seventy voices, these stories capture all walks of life--from celebrities and chefs to a circus family, new immigrants, a creative dad whose illustrated lunch bags went viral, plenty of unlikely cultural mashups, and one genuine cafeteria lady. Their experiences are compelling, familiar, and foreign at the same time, forming a cultural time capsule. School Lunch celebrates our diversity and our shared experience. In their words:
  • School lunch is one of the core reasons I became a chef. --Marcus Sammuelson
  • My mom, God rest her soul, was not exactly Mom-of-the-Year on this kind of stuff. She worked full-time, that woman was not about to peel and slice fruit for me. --Natalie Webster
  • I ate the same damn thing every day for six years. --Micaela Walker
  • On the days when I didn't have enough food there was always a reason to start or finish a fight. --George Foreman
  • We were definitely a crusts-on family. --Daphne Oz
  • I used to hate that feeling of walking into the lunchroom for the first time and not knowing where to sit. --Chinae Alexander
  • Every kid had some good item to trade and I had f****** applesauce. --Sam Kass
