Tater Tots & Turkey alà King: The GenX School Lunch

In today's episode, we'll be saving the one constant in everybody’s life from ages 5 to 18 – that daily meal taken at long tables in basement cafeterias and converted gyms: The School Lunch. Not Michelle Obama's school lunch or the farm-to-table locally-sourced fully compostable school lunch of the new millennium ... more like the grease-filled pepperoni cups on your rectangle pizza school lunch that was the jewel of Gen X schools across the nation. Joining our conversation is the host of Funny People Making Food, Erica Wides. Erica's short, pithy cooking demos on Instagram have made her everybody's favorite chef; and it turns out she knows a thing or two about how our Gen X school lunches came to be. What was our society's most popular school lunch pick? Was it the same as yours? And please God I hope you never dropped your lunch tray!Follow Erica Wides on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTubeSubscribe to Erica’s newsletter hereFollow the PCPS on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and YouTubeSubscribe to the PCPS email newsletter, “The Weekly Reader” hereBecome a supporter of the PCPS on Patreon.
