When I was a sprout growing up in Sinclair Lewis’ \u00a0Zenith City, \u00a0I went to junior high (7-9) at Ordean Junior High School, where nobody complained \u00a0about us having “Warriors”for a team name with a silhouette of an Indian for a logo. \u00a0 Then it was on to Duluth East for (most of) grades 10-12. \u00a0Well, due to some weird population shift in the cosmos now Ordean is East (after a gajillion dollar remodeling job) and East is Ordean East Junior….er Middle….. \u00a0Or something. \u00a0Don’t even think about getting me started on my grade school.<\/p>\n

The students at East have always been an enterprising lot, but now they’ve amped it up by starting a restaurant within the school that is open to the public. \u00a0It’s called “Food for Thought<\/a>” and it not only helps train students interested in the culinary arts, but also in general business. \u00a0 The menu is varied, \u00a0very ambitious, and everything served is made from scratch in house.<\/p>\n

Specials change by the week and month, and compliment the regular menu items. \u00a0The Duluth Lunch Bunch hit the cafe today and reported an \u00a0excellent experience. \u00a0Every dish consumed was superb in preparation and presentation, and the enthusiasm of the student employees was reported to be \u00a0far and above the service received in most Duluth restaurants. The operation is overseen by Glenn D’Amour<\/a>, Culinary Arts Instructor for the Duluth public school system and former corporate chef \u00a0at several highly regarded local eateries.<\/p>\n

We have a gaggle of pix, so let’s get right to them. \u00a0The current offerings are in our menu section<\/a>. \u00a0And p.s. Don’t tell anybody the prices are too cheap!!!! \u00a0(Cash only, BTW).<\/p>\n
