Today, superhero Chicago chefs including Paul Kahan, Koren Grieveson, Gale Gand and many others met on the lawn of the White House with First Lady Michelle Obama to kick off “Chefs Move to Schools” campaign. Running parallel with the First Lady’s “Let’s Move” campaign, "Chefs Move to Schools" connects children with the nutritious food they need to lead healthy, active lives. At the event, local chefs learned how to adopt a school at a panel discussion with Assistant to the White House Chef Sam Kass and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan.

Big thumbs up to our Chicago Chefs working to stop hunger and childhood obesity, one school lunch at a time.
