THIS WEEK
East High's Nacho Bar Opens During Lunch
This week, the East High nacho bar opened during lunch in the Cafeteria! Every order is made from scratch and fully customizable, with a variety of options that include jalapeño slices, pickled onions, salsa verde & salsa rojo, and spiced corn. These bars are mobile and adaptable, meaning they'll be able to support a variety of cuisine concepts going forward.
