Chef Michael Paley will present a special lunch menu Tuesday, Sept. 8 through Thursday, Sept. 10 at Proof on Main to benefit “Time for Lunch,” Slow Foods’ campaign for healthy school lunches. The prix fixe menu offers the option of two courses for $14 or three courses for $17 and is available from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. These featured items will star produce and herbs from the restaurant’s urban rooftop garden and from regional farms.

“The Time for Lunch campaign has the goal of teaching children the importance of healthy eating habits from an early age,” says chef Paley. “Because my wife works in education, I have seen firsthand the need for nutritious food in our schools. I’m pleased to be able to help the cause while showcasing the region’s finest ingredients.”

“Time for Lunch” is a project of Slow Food USA, an educational non-profit with the goal of creating a world in which everyone can enjoy food that is good, clean and fair. The campaign strives to motivate Congress and the Obama Administration to invest in children’s health, protect against foods that put children at risk, teach children healthy eating habits, give schools the incentives to buy local foods and create green jobs within school cafeterias.
