DC Public Schools has hired New York restauranteur Jeff Mills to run its school lunch program. Formerly of the Biltmore Room, Mills has been tasked with turning a money-losing function that serves crappy processed food that drives students to turn to pizza and french fries for lunch into a profitable program that serves appealing whole foods to students.

Some critics argue that Mills’ lack of background in school lunch programs is a liability, but DCPS asserts that’s a strength, not a weakness. Personally, I think people with backgrounds in school food haven’t done nearly enough to fix it, so I don’t see how bringing someone in who has actually run a profitable business based on tasty food could possibly make the situation any worse.
