Kids Kitchen Sucks; Here's Why

If you're Canadian, then you may know of a school lunch service called Kids Kitchen. Some people like these guys, some people don't (hopefully most of them don't). Here's why I don't order anymore.

5. Cheap

They're so penny-pinching that they took away the old, better-quality bags and replaced them with thrift paper bags. Moreover, they now refuse to put coloured ink on their stickers that identify which student the bag is to go to. Most importantly though, they charge you for everything they can possibly charge you for whether it's cancelling an order or getting small things such as pickles and sour cream.

4. Small Portions

The food containers may seem OK but consider the fact that barely half of it comes filled. Plus, the snacks that they offer slowly shrink in size (there are 1.5 inch cookies).

3. Inadequate

Kids Kitchen isn't exactly anybody's idea of fine dining. Bagels with cream cheese and cucumber sandwiches aren't very appealing to me. You need energy for school and Kids Kitchen definitely doesn't provide this.

2. Food Sucks

Half of the stuff they serve is stale food from two weeks ago and I can bet you that employees rarely wash their hands. Why don't I describe to you, their pasta: The sauce is pretty much reddish water, sitting at the bottom; half of the stuff isn't even cooked; it's totally cold; the bit of cheese on top looks like it was made in Christopher Columbus's era.

1. Expensive

A few menu items and the costs:

Potato- $1.50
3 pc sushi- $5.50
Salisbury steak w/ potatoes- $5.00
Juice box- $1.50
Pickle slices- $0.50
0.25 bite brownie- $1.50
