If we can blabber on about overpriced DC restaurants, we can blabber on about school cafeterias, can't we?
If we can blabber on about overpriced DC restaurants, we can blabber on about school cafeterias, can't we?Quote from: stevewizzle on October 11, 2013, 02:17:14 pmQuote from: James Ford on October 11, 2013, 01:48:13 pmMy wife went to my kid's school today to have lunch with my daughter. (Parents are encouraged to come have lunch with their kids.) She brought vegetarian pad thai in a plain white styrofoam container purchased at our local Thai restaurant.She was reprimanded by the school lunch lady for "bringing in outside food. This place is like a restaurant, you wouldn't bring McDonalds into Mike's" (Well actually I wouldn't be caught eating at either of them). So apparently you can bring your own homemade or store purchased pre-packaged corporate food into their "restaurant", but not food prepared by a third party. (?)She also said that they have the kids washing the tables (isn't that the job of the custodian/lunch lady?), so when my wife took my daughter to stand away from the table while that was being done, she was further reprimanded by the lunch lady , "You're supposed to remain seated at the table at all times."No wonder why my wife wants to home school our kid.i got a good laugh finding this in gastronomical banter.

I guess I should have realized it's not cool to bring up gastronomical banter pertaining to children in an audience of hipster doofuses.

Pizza. My daughter refuses to eat it because "it has too much cheese on it." Figures, the girl has been going to Pizza Paradiso happy hours since she was a baby.
