CCSD Hosts Global Eats Event

CCSD Hosts Global Eats Event

In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, Celebrity Chef Jonathan Zaragoza, renowned for his appearances on the Netflix show “Taco Chronicles” and who has made a cameo appearance in the hit series “The Bear,” visited the Churchill High School cafeteria on Oct 10. The special event featured a cooking demonstration highlighting the significance of cultural culinary traditions.

Arriving at the CCHS Culinary Arts Classroom, Chef Jonathan kicked off the event with a brief introduction. He shared insights into his culinary background and his collaboration with Chartwells' Global Eats Program. He also discussed the importance of student nutrition in schools and how his experiences have shaped his career.

The students watched as Chef Jonathan demonstrated his signature Corn and Pineapple Salsa recipe, guiding students through the process from start to finish. Afterward, the chef was asked questions about cooking, nutrition, and his journey in the culinary world.

Chef Jonathan and Chartwell’s Director of Dining Services, Amber Scholl, prepared and plated Torta de Jamon, Horchata Parfait, and Corn and Pineapple Salsa with Tortilla Chips for the students to sample.

Additionally, Students received swag and recipe cards while having the chance to take photos with Chef Jonathan.

Chef Jonathan engaged with the combined Spanish classes to discuss his career and the influence of his heritage on his cooking, followed by a final Q&A session.

The event was supported by Chartwell’s Administrative Assistant Jerusa Lacow, Director of Dining Services Amber Scholl, and Area Director Carl Nowicki, who will ensure everything runs smoothly, from setting up displays to distributing samples.

From the editor: This is a very good question and we apologize for not catching that wasn't in there. We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITORComment author: Debra J RidenourComment text: So sorry for your loss.
