The Tilden student chefs' recipe was served at the Longworth House of Representatives cafeteria.

The Tilden students' meal was served not only at the briefing but also in the Longworth House of Representatives cafeteria.

"Everyone was like: "Good job. This is just so good for being a healthy school lunch. This is great,'" Franklin says.
