Goldies 2013: Flik Independent School Dining, Rye Brook, N.Y.

Program uses authentic ethnic cuisine to educate students.

On Traveling Flavors day, Flik Independent Dining’s regional chefs prepare a special menu of authentic foods for more than 100 of Flik’s accounts twice a year. The menu is based either on food from one country or around a theme, such as street foods or recipes from a celebrity chef.

A big part of the education piece of Traveling Flavors is the decorations and music that accompany the cuisine.

Authentic dishes from each region expose the students to different flavors and cultures.

 

“We wanted to educate the kids outside the classroom without them knowing that they were being educated,” says Ray Mulligan, president of Flik Independent School Dining, about the program.
