The Bridgeton Public Schools' nine schools have an enrollment of more than 6,000 students and serve breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Assistant Director of Food Services, Jacqueline Mermer has consistently focused on offering a wide variety of healthy foods that kids like: scrambled eggs and turkey sausage for breakfast; fajita bowls, chicken, tacos, pizza and steak for lunch and dinner. One central kitchen prepares meals that are delivered daily to each school.
Before making the switch to RATIONAL, the District used convection ovens, which resulted in uneven cooking and required a skilled worker to monitor progress. Mermer discovered RATIONAL through a CookingLive event, saw and tasted the quality of the output and was wowed. She knew RATIONAL ovens would produce better food for the students.
