Phoenix-Area Chef Wants To Make School Lunches Better, More Nutritious

A new project kicking off in October is working to get better food into Arizona schools and to teach students about food.

The Blue Watermelon Project came out of an experience Charleen Badman had with a program run by the James Beard Foundation.

Badman is the chef and co-owner of FnB Restaurant in Scottsdale and has been working on this issue for a while now.

Mark Brodie is a co-host of The Show, KJZZ’s locally produced news magazine. Since starting at KJZZ in 2002, Brodie has been a host, reporter and producer, including several years covering the Arizona Legislature, based at the Capitol.
