JACKSON, MI - The routine of their typical lunch food fare, like pizza and burgers, is about to change for Jackson High School students.
Chef John Sugimura is in town this week preparing the school’s kitchen staff to whip up the chicken karaage bowls he serves at his PinKU Japanese Street Food restaurant in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Students will get a taste of this more-than-100-year-old recipe passed down from his grandmother later this week.
“The meal we’ll be serving Thursday and Friday will be exactly how my grandmother would do it and she would be proud of it,” he said.
