Nothing unites people like food and a worthwhile cause, according to Kroger Chef Mike Florea. “It was an honour to collaborate with Kellogg to develop a daring family supper that promotes camaraderie and funds the food safety and nutrition initiatives of the FMI Foundation. We are happy to have created a menu that emphasises several of our different brands and makes dishes that are simple and reasonably priced for consumers across the nation, despite the fierce competition from our fellow chefs.”
