Stirring Up Change In a Community Near You

Teen Battle Chef, is a program of FamilyCook Productions in over 75 schools and community sites across the U.S. Over half are sponsored in high schools by HealthCorps. This blog began in summer 2010 when FamilyCook invited NYC Teen Battle Chefs to participate in internships working with chefs in restaurants, teaching younger children cooking, growing food in food deserts, and cooking in farmers markets across 5 boroughs. In fall 2010, our program continues and thanks to Robin Quivers, her run in the NYC Marathon in November, will provide critical funding so our Teen Battle Chef programs in CT and in HealthCorps schools in NJ can experience these transformational internships as well.

Visit to 4Food

On August 13th I visted the 4food restaurant with my fellow TICs and Lynn. When we got there we were treated like "VIP" and we got a full tour of the entire restaurant. We got to go into the kitchen to familiarize ourselves since that is where we will be competing in the 4food recipe competition. The restaurant itself was really cool and high tech, even the menus were computer monitors. The main floor the has mini bleechers which face a HUGE screen which will play things from youtube videos to twitter updates(live)! I can't wait to go back on August 29th. -Janeil

    I finally found the link to the blog! :D
    I remember our first trip to 4Food i loved it, especially the corazon smoothe. It's such an innovative idea to have a fast food burger joint, ironically located across the street from a McDonalds. I loved the place it's so hip, and up to date with technology. I can definitely envision teens wanting to get some healthy food, fast!

    As for my participation in the Veggie Scoop Challenge, i had a blast, i was honored to be a part of the first challenge and to share the recipie my partner Janiel and i created.
    Overall the experience was an awsome one, i plan on going to 4Food very soon :)
