Other Plans | Octavio Maese

Host Abby Gierke interviews Octavio Maese on this month's edition of Other Plans. Octavio Maese is the Director of Nutrition Services for the Roaring Fork School District. Maese enjoys interacting with kids, their curiosity toward food, and the challenge of planning menus that balance those quirky and often inconsistent preferences with federal regulations in the lunch line. His love and appreciation for food started at a young age with help from his grandmother who taught him how to embrace flavors and taste over recipes. Maese also shares a few nutritional tips and favorite snacks to bring on your next adventure outside.
