Chef Transforms City School's Diet (Memphis) [View all]

With some of the richest soil in the nation and a temperate climate, the Mid-South used to be centered around farming. But, for decades our school children have been eating frozen food.

In Memphis City Schools that has changed, because of the vision of a chef from New Orleans. Seasonal menus are now featuring local products, farm fresh veggies, organic produce, and slow roasted meats.

"You can taste the difference on your plate," says Chef Anthony Geraci.

His kitchen is the Central Nutrition Center for Memphis City Schools. Geraci brings fresh, organic, homemade food to cafeterias all over Memphis.
