1. Sushi
With 78% growth, it’s clear that sushi is here to stay. As Guy Procopio, culinary services director at Michigan State University, told FoodService Director late last year, “[Sushi] is kind of another staple item.” At the East Lansing, Mich., school, sushi is made daily and is available as a grab-and-go item at most campus retail locations.
Bringing sushi to a younger student set, Newton South High School last year held Sushi Day twice monthly, offering sushi lunches that included mixed greens and miso soup, and sold for $5, a higher-than-usual price point at the Newton, Mass., school.
