🌟 We had a world-class chef at Athens Middle School today! Chef Roshni Gurnani (AKA Chef Rosh) offered the flavors of India to students during their lunch periods. From competing on Chopped, H*ll’s Kitchen, and Iron Chef: Alex vs. America, to earning recognition as one of the top 5 Indian chefs in the U.S., Chef Rosh brought a wealth of experience to AMS. 👩🍳 And we can vouch that the chicken makhani with basmati rice (AKA butter chicken) was DELICIOUS. Thanks, Chef Rosh, for encouraging our students to try new flavors! 🍛 #HornetNation
