Wellness in the Schools Gala

Chef Telepan invited us to go to the Wellness in The Schools Gala. If you saw our Kitchen Curiosities interview with Chef Telepan he talked about Wellness In The Schools where he is the executive Chef. WITS just celebrated their 10 year anniversary and it’s a really big deal because they have made so many more schools and kids healthy by serving really good healthy food and including fun exercise programs. Enjoy all of these pictures – lots of food pictures of course and a BIG highlight was meeting John Legend and seeing beautiful Chrissy Teigen who is a big foodie and was also the WITS Gala host. Next up on WITS is our Kitchen Curiosities interview with Nancy Easton, the WITS founder. Cool.
