Mane Street Meals

Makayla Crespo and Shea Pangu | April 25, 2024

Mozzarella Sticks. Penne Pasta. General Tao’s Chicken. School lunch is a part of many Foran students’ everyday lives, but have you ever wondered which lunches students crave the most? There are dozens of different lunch options, but there are a few that leave the lunch line much longer than others. Multiple chefs work every day to put together these meals, and it is essential that we show gratitude towards them and recognize them as well. Without them, we would not have the opportunity to enjoy these lunches. Which lunch will you try next?

Chicken Tenders with Waffles and Hashbrowns: The manager of our cafeteria, Marybeth Salvato, knows firsthand which lunches students respond to the best. “Yesterday, the chicken tenders- waffles, that’s a big seller.” March 14, 2024.

Boneless Wings with Disco Fries: Sophomore Christian Rios says, “Boneless wings at Foran are my favorite food at Foran. This is because they have good taste and have good protein. They have the perfect size where it fills me up perfectly and this allows me to not focus on being hungry while learning in school. This helps out my day a lot.” March 11, 2024.

Chicken and Cheese Quesadilla: “[The students] really like the quesadillas.” says cafeteria manager, Marybeth Salvato. The quesadilla is arguably Foran’s favorite lunch item. “The quesadilla is my favorite school lunch. Not only does it have great flavor, but it is also a cultural food. This allows us to have good food at school while also being educated. Because of this experience and the food overall, it is my favorite lunch.” states sophomore Laney Chan. March 18, 2024.
