Thank you for making us feel so welcome and lots of laughs. In this Kitchen Curiosities, you will learn about Wellness In The Schools, a loved ingredient on Telepan’s spring menu, where in the world he would eat dinner tonight and much more! Also, we took tons of pictures you’ll see below.
The people there were so nice and passionate. We took lots of pictures so look below for the full scoop on everything!
With Chef Telepan! We gave him a bag of our Make Your Own Kale Chips. And he was sitting so we look tall ( :During our interview. After we did our interview with Chef Telepan, we had a scrumptious lunch. It was so cozy and warm there which was especially nice because it started to snow (in March!)

Everything was plated so neatly and elegantly.
I loved this chickpea soup with rosemary.

Kelly and our parents all ordered this poached egg on frisee salad with wild mushrooms. Chef Telepan has a very special way he poaches his eggs. Everyone finished every bite.

A variety of veggies and fermented veggies. We loved fermented and learned about it from the Fermentation on Wheels lady who came to our school
Everyone shared this smoked trout on a buckwheat pancake. So pretty and we loved all of the flavors.
We love beets and so we both had beet gnocchi. We finished all of it and will order this again if it’s on their menu next time.
