McKinney, Texas – School lunches have come a long way since the 1980s, when Gen Xers were slogging their way through the daily rigors of the school cafeteria. Long gone are the soy burgers, rock-hard tater tots and randomly thrown in sticks of government cheese.

In are items like this—which was named one of the Reader’s Choice Best K-12 School Meals in the country in this month’s issue of Food Management Magazine.

The “MTO Masher Bowl”, which is offered in 91͵�� secondary schools by district food service provider Aramark, is described in the feature as “a made-to-order loaded mashed potato bowl. We start with a mound of mashed potatoes and sweet corn then add the protein of choice – barbeque pulled pork or popcorn chicken. Top it off with favorites like gravy, bacon bits, cheddar cheese and green onions. Served with a buttermilk biscuit.”

“Aramark is proud to be given one of the Reader’s Choice Awards for serving Best K-12 School Meals in America by Food Management Magazine,” said Aramark Resident District Manager James Shoemake. “We are fortunate to have two executive chefs on staff here at 91͵�� who continue to bring innovation and culinary expertise to our students daily.”
