Grub Burger Bar Adds Dish Created at Trimble Tech HS to 2020 Menu
A kids' dish, created by culinary students at Fort Worth ISD’s Trimble Tech High School, is one of the new additions appearing on the 2020 menu at Grub Kitchen + Bar.
Next spring, the Turkey Buddy Burger, a kid-sized turkey zucchini patty on a whole wheat bun with jalapeño ranch spread and a side of carrot sticks with a pineapple apple sauce dip, will appear on the children’s menu at Grub restaurants across the country. Additionally, the culinary team from Trimble Tech receives a $500 scholarship. The Turkey Buddy Burger is the creation of Trimble Tech students Paola Martinez, Kimberly Sanchez and Miriam Perez Vega. The team is led by culinary arts teacher Natasha Bruton.
Last month, the students participated in the Kids Fit Menu Invitational Live Demo Event, a competition in which culinary students from area school districts prepare an original dish for the chance at having it included on the children’s menus in restaurants across Dallas-Fort Worth. Kids Fit Menu Invitational Live Demo Event, a partnership of Medical City Children’s Hospital, the Greater Dallas Restaurant Association and Texas ProStart was hosted Saturday, November 2 at 3015 at Trinity Groves, a culinary events center, in Dallas. Students prepared original dishes for Grub, Village Burger Bar and Genghis Grill.
The winnings recipe, names and photos of the student chefs and the school they represent will appear on children’s menus at Grub, Village Burger Bar and Genghis Grill. Trimble Tech High received notification that its dish will appear on the Grub Kitchen + Bar menu over the Thanksgiving break.
The culinary program at Trimble Tech High School is a Gold Seal Program of Choice.
The Turkey Buddy Burger will be the latest dish, created by FWISD students, to appear on menus in the D-FW area.
In April 2019, two dishes created by students at North Side and South Hills high schools were added to the kids’ menu at la Madeleine French Bakery and Café. The dishes -- Cinnamon Apple Crepe and Ooh la la Chicken and Rice – were winners at the 2018 Kids Fit Menu Invitational Live Demo Event.
North Side High School and South Hills High School culinary students are also part of the District’s Gold Seal Programs of Choice.
