At 1 p.m. on Friday, the cafeteria at Eastlake High School in Tarpon Springs, Florida looked like your typical school cafeteria that hadn't been upgraded in years. It was dull and shabby and looked more like an assembly line floor than a place to eat lunch. Staff members were uninspired to serve good food, and students were less willing to eat it.

The "Wells" part of Wells/Bloomfield is named after its founder, George F. Wells. Created in San Francisco in 1920, the company began by producing a variety of electric cooking products including a patented waffle baker that George Wells invented himself.

Florida school cafeterias are facing more and more challenges. From decreased budgets to low student participation, it almost seems like the deck is constantly being stacked. But with some creativity and the right equipment, it's possible for Florida's school nutrition programs to deal themselves back into the game.
