Hard working cafeteria people are dedicated to their work. Many are in the kitchen before the school day starts, working on the menu for lunch. The amount of work and expertise that goes in to the preparation is astonishing. For example, to make pizza, the kitchen crew has to prepare and combine a number of ingredients to the final product. First, the pizza dough is kneaded and formed into the baking sheet, while the cheese is sliced and sauce prepared. The food service at Edsel Ford is noticeably better than that of other school systems. The myth of cafeteria food is that it tastes awful. Not so. As Ethan McAdam, 10, states, “The food quality takes a lot of verbal abuse, but in fact, most of it is very good. My personal favorite is the bread.
