What if a chef made your school lunch? In between precalc and English class, 500 students at the San Francisco Unified School District are getting a top-notch culinary experience. Chef Josh Davidson and his team at McAteer Culinary Center work closely with local producers to source fresh ingredients for the school’s seasonal lunch menu, which can include dishes like Singapore noodles and tofu, and chicken tikka masala. You won’t find premade food here — everything is prepared and cooked in-house. Turns out that working in a school cafeteria is a lot like working in a restaurant — except the diners rush off to dissect frogs at the end of the meal instead of paying the check. 🎥: Sergio Scardigno, social video producer Presented by @schoolfoodpros #lunch #cafeteria #schoollunch #eater

At Coach House, chef Zubair Mohajir is serving one of Chicago’s most exciting tasting menus — and the duck Numidian is the star of the show. To make the grand finale of the tasting menu, the James Beard-nominated chef slow-roasts cured duck legs with South Indian spices and aged duck fat. The buttery, melt-in-your-mouth meat is then rolled into a roulade and served with red rice khichdi and duck jus. Presented by @capitalone #finedining #chicagofood #duck #chicagoeats #jamesbeard

The producers at Fazenda Barreiro in Brazil harvest some of the world's finest coffee. ☕️ Specializing in organic coffee, the farmers carefully select beans at their peak ripeness to highlight their naturally fruity and sweet flavors. During the drying process, the temperature of the beans is carefully monitored to lock in the rich flavors and aromas. Presented by @yeti #coffee #brazil #organic #arabica

But can your brisket even hang?! Top pitmasters from around the world come to Kansas City for a chance to win $15,000 and the grand champion trophy at the American Royal World Series of Barbecue each year — and every aspect of their smoked meats are up for critique. Not only will the judges analyze the taste of each cut of brisket, but also its tenderness, presentation, the way it “hangs”, and so much more. #competitionbbq #bbq #barbecue #brisket

Only one dish is always on the menu at Le Bernardin, chef @Eric Ripert's three-Michelin-starred French seafood palace in NYC. Simple, yet surprising, the pounded yellowfin tuna with foie gras and toasted baguette has unwittingly become the restaurant's signature dish. #nycfood #michelinstar #nycrestaurants #chef

Ore-Ida Fries are SO much more than a side in this crispy, smokey, easy dish @Ore-Ida #ad #deliciouslypredictable

Do expensive hot dogs taste better? 🌭 We tasked Brent Young, butcher-owner of the Meat Hook (@themeathook) in NYC, with a taste test of four hot dog brands to see if he could tell the difference between a pricey wiener and budget-friendly dogs. #butcher #sausage #hotdogchallenge

At Paulie Gee’s Brooklyn slice shop, it’s all about the ambiance. Take one step inside and you’ll feel like you’re stepping into an old-school pizza place, complete with the Cornelius Jetspray JT-20 double bowl beverage dispenser.🥤#pizza #nycrestaurantreviews #nycpizza

NYC’s three-Michelin-starred Le Bernardin doesn’t do it for the ‘gram, it’s all about the taste. Every dish is consistent in flavor, texture, and presentation—including the halibut. While the halibut dish looks simple, much thought, time, and work go into the bourguignonne sauce. Because the sauces are so complex, the French restaurant has a whole station dedicated to making them. “The sous chef is a manager,” chef Eric Ripert says, “The saucier is an artist.” #nycrestaurantreviews #michelin #chef

The menu at three-Michelin-starred Le Bernardin is ever-changing, but seafood remains the star of the show. Chef Eric Ripert prizes extremely fresh ingredients, and 90 percent of the seafood arrives the morning of service — including the scallops. Ripert and his team serve up some of the most luxurious takes on seafood by always evolving, learning, and pushing the envelope in the kitchen. It’s no wonder Le Bernardin is considered one of the best restaurants in the world. #nycrestaurants #michelinstar #chef
